These are recommended procedures for schools with regards to the use of Chromebooks.<\/b><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Students are responsible for the general care of the device that was issued to them by the District. Devices that are broken or fail to work properly must be reported to the school\u2019s technology coach or staff so they can be fixed.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Devices must be brought to school each day in a fully charged condition<\/b>. Students who are allowed to take the devices home need to charge their device each evening. Repeat violations of this policy will result in students being required to check out their devices from the Media Center or Main Office for an extended period of time or loss of device privileges.<\/span><\/p>\n It is recommended, Students and parents complete a Chromebook Incident form (See Examples Below).\u00a0 Devices that are broken or fail to work properly must be taken immediately to the Main Office (or designated location). If deemed necessary, a replacement\/loaner device should be issued.<\/span><\/p>\n Students who intentionally damage a device<\/p>\n Devices are available to all students. Parents and students must sign and return the Muscogee County School District Student and Parent Chromebook Use Agreement document before a Device can be issued for School Year 2019 – 20.\u00a0 Students must complete the Digital Citizenship Course through Canvas before a device can be taken home by schools that allow students to take devices home.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Issue:<\/b> August – Virtucom, our vendor, & DIS will work with the schools to get the Chromebooks issued to students as effectively as possible while ensuring each Chromebook is accounted for and issued in Incident IQ. Each schools Administrative team will inform the faculty of the date that has been determined when the Chromebooks will be issued.<\/span><\/p>\n Collecting Chromebooks<\/b>: May \/ Last month of school.\u00a0 Virtucom & DIS will work with schools to collect the Chromebooks with enough time to account for all the devices and check them in in Incident IQ. Each schools Administrative team will inform the faculty of the date that has been determined when the Chromebooks will be turned back in.<\/span><\/p>\n Current Fines per Item:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n STUDENT BEHAVIOR \/ EXPECTATIONS WHILE USING STUDENT DEVICES<\/b>:<\/span><\/p>\n It is understood that if a student does not follow the expectations of appropriate behavior regarding the device there will be an appropriate and proportionate consequence. The list below is not an exhaustive list of infractions and accompanying consequences, but rather serves as an example. Students may earn office discipline referrals for misbehaviors related to the device and its usage.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n apps<\/span><\/td>\n = Repeated offences will result in an office referral to the appropriate administrator.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n = cancellation of membership to site<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n <\/p>\n A recommended student expectation is that they bring their charged device to school every day. This should be enforced well before testing so it develops as a habit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Schools should conduct a \u201cDevice Checkup\u201d in advance of testing to ensure Chromebooks are present and undamaged before testing.\u00a0 Things to look for on a visual check: Chromebook present, no cracked screen, all keys on the keyboard present, Chromebook turns on and can Log In. The recommendation is to conduct at least 3 of these \u201cvisual\u201d checkups in the weeks leading up to testing. Administrators should ensure the reserve cart has sufficient charged devices available for emergencies.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you have students that need \u201cRead-Aloud\u201d functionality, schools\/testing coordinators should have students check to ensure their headphones work before testing.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Office of Research, Accountability and Assessment will determine specifics of testing schedules and timelines.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n During the Secure Practice with Transmission check (set up by Research, Accountability and Assessments) schools will have students click on the Apps button at the bottom left of the screen before login.\u00a0 Testing coordinators will have to create sessions and print tickets for this. They will choose DRC app which will take them to the state testing site. This test will allow schools to see that all devices are ready for testing.\u00a0 In addition, testing coordinators should revisit the testing room plan if any issues are determined. If schools are using labs they will be able to work with MCSD and Virtucom Technicians to ensure all devices are ready for the testing window.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Teachers who notice slow or intermittent internet issues should put in a work ticket.\u00a0 If it is one teacher, a MCSD technician will go onsite to investigate. If it is the whole school, the Data Center Operations Team will assess the situation.<\/span>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column] ONE TO ONE CHROMEBOOK RECOMMENDED PROCEDURES These are recommended procedures for schools with regards to the use of Chromebooks.
