APS Technology Contract (Revised)

Having Issues with Students and Parents Understanding the Potential Consequences? (This will be part of the district check in process each year)

Please Note Some of the New Language in the Contract

(10) Destruction of school Property - Vandalism

12 Other Violation of Code of Conduct - Computer/Internet misuse

Consequences may include but are not limited to:: Online course remediation before privileges are restored, an incident report can be filled out by the school for that student, in school suspension, out of school suspension, expulsion.

Please refer to our Safe Schools Policies and Regulations Handbook for a list of offenses and detailed definitions. Violations can lead to suspension in accordance with our district conduct and discipline codes.

For Further Thought

Some schools are having success with the following as well:

Creating a list of students that have repeatedly damaged a chromebook: Once on this list, rather than the parent only signing the technology agreement during registration, a parent will need to speak with an Admin or site tech to be informed of the previous issue(s) and/or damage(s), as well as be told about the consequences of damaging technology in the future.
