Classroom Acceptable Use Policy:

Our Technology Contract Between Students, Teacher,


and Parent/Guardians
We are very lucky to have the opportunity to learn and explore through
the use of various forms of technology in our classroom. This
technology will be used to enhance our learning experiences and
expand our thinking through collaboration, discovery, and creation of
new content.
This opportunity is a privilege and requires responsibility. It is our
responsibility as a teacher, student, or parent/guardian respectively to
use technology safely and respectfully by following the guidelines in
our Acceptable Use Policy, or AUP.
Please take the time to read through these guidelines with your
student so they will know how I will help them to use technology in an
acceptable way, what is expected of them in regards to technology,
and you can familiarize yourself with parent/guardian expectations. We
will also review expectations and responsibilities in our class.
Additionally they will be posted in our room.
Upon reviewing our classroom AUP please have both you and
your student sign the contract and return it to me. If you have
any questions, comments or concerns please feel free to reach
out to me! I am happy to answer all questions and talk with
you
Thank you,
Miss Knotts

***PLEASE NOTE: Students who break this contract will lose technology
privileges, and after three strikes will no longer be able to use any of
our technology resources for the remainder of the year.***

As a student I will
review our Acceptable Use Policy and ask questions about anything
that I am not completely sure of so I can follow our rules as best I can.
respect our technology by handling devices carefully with two hands,
making sure hands are clean before use, and being gentle with our
devices.
use technology politely by using headphones so I do not disturb other
classmates.
be courteous and respectful in my comments, posts, and feedback to
others.
use proper Internet etiquette as was discussed in class, including using
proper language and behaving responsibly online.

As a student I know

technology privileges for one week.
a strike is written up, sent home for parent signature and kept on
record.
after my second strike I will have the same consequence (written
record and extended loss of technology for two weeks) and will also
have a meeting with my teacher and my parent/guardian to discuss
the incidents.
