INTRODUCTION: Elder High School has actively pursued making advanced technology and increased access to learning opportunities available to our students. Using the most current research and best practices as a guide, Elder High School provides students with Tablet PCs. This program continues to be refined to be certain it provides the greatest educational benefit for our students. EDUCATIONAL USE: The Tablet PC is intended for educational use. Any use of this privilege contrary to the mission of Elder High School will lead to disciplinary action as set forth in the Elder Student Handbook. As such, the items below are strictly prohibited. Submitting, publishing, and/or displaying any defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, obscene, profane, sexually oriented, threatening, harassing, racially offensive or otherwise illegal material, on or off school property. Damaging computers, computer systems or computer networks. Violating copyright laws, including multimedia content. Employing the network for non-educational and/or commercial purposes. ELDER TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT: Support for the Tablet PC’s will be provided by the Technology Help Desk. The Technology Help Desk is located in Room 303 and will be open each school day from 7:30 AM to 3:30 PM. All necessary software and hardware repairs will be handled by the Technology Help Desk. Students should not attempt to make any hardware repairs on their own. Elder High School has the right to restore the Tablet PC to its original software image whenever the Technology Department determines it to be appropriate or necessary. Students are responsible for ensuring they have backup copies of important data. Each student’s tablet will be reimaged over the summer. A student may have his tablet reimaged one more time during the upcoming school year without a fee. Each additional reimaging for that school year may result in a $15 fee. PHYSICAL CARE: The Tablet PC is the property of Elder High School, and as such should be treated with proper care. Any Elder/manufacturer identification on the Tablet PC or case may not be removed. No stickers, writing or other paraphernalia may be placed on or attached to the Tablet PC. The student is not allowed to make any physical or electronic alterations to the Tablet PC. A student will receive 4 demerits for removing or disabling the DyKnow software. When not in physical possession of the Tablet PC, the unit should be in a secured environment (e.g. locked school locker) The Tablet PC is the property of Elder High School and is to be returned by the student upon demand or withdrawal from Elder High School. WARRANTY * ACCIDENTAL DAMAGE * NEGLIGENCE * LOSS Each student takes responsibility for the reasonable care and protection for his assigned computer while it is in his possession during his four years enrolled at Elder High School. Students will be responsible for any costs for replacement or repair of the Tablet PC that are not covered under the Accidental Damage Protection or 4-year warranty plan. All Elder Tablet PCs are purchased with a fouryear warranty.

The student is responsible for the cost of any damages due to misuse, neglect, or purposely damaging their Tablet PC. Students are reminded that the Tablet PCs are a significant investment and must be treated as such. We recognize from time to time accidents involving the Tablet PC may occur. Conversely, negligent actions and behaviors toward a student’s own Tablet PC or that of another will not be tolerated.
