Student Device Responsible Use Guidelines

FCPS loaned devices should be used only in conjunction with projects relating to the educational programs of FCPS. It may not be used as a personal or social device for  students at home or school.
 

• The device is loaned to the student temporarily for student use only.
  • Friends, family members, or other students may not use it.
• The device is valuable and should be treated appropriately. It should always be:
  • Handled with care (Closed and carried with two hands)
  • Stored in its carrying case when not in use and while transporting it
  • Properly stored in a location where it will not be dropped, stepped on, or exposed to extreme temperatures
  • Left in a secure location while not in use
  • Charged each night so it has a full battery at the start of the school day
• Keep away from pets, food, and liquids.
• Practice responsible digital citizenship skills while using the device.
• The device has Internet filtering that helps keep students safe on the Internet by blocking harmful and inappropriate sites. Families still need to monitor their students when using the device.
• All files should be saved in Schoology or Google Apps for Education, not on the computer hard drive since data will be wiped once returned.
• The device should be powered off (Shut Down in settings, not just closed) completely at the end of each school day.
• FCPS may review anything on the device at any time.
• Tech support is provided at your school during school hours only:
  • Let school staff know if the device is having problems.
  • Students and family should never attempt to repair the laptop themselves or take it to a repair shop.
