Nurse’s Office When a student becomes ill or suffers an injury at school, the student must obtain a pass from the teacher whose class the student will be missing. Only emergency situations will permit admission to the Nurse’s Office without a pass. Students reporting to the Nurse’s Office will “swipe in” using his/her ID card. Upon departure, the time will be recorded and a return pass issued on the students agenda book. If the nurse determines that dismissal from school is recommended, contact will be made with those named on the Emergency Contact Card. In the event of dismissal by the nurse, the person picking up the student must also sign the early dismissal log sheet; students who drove to school will only be permitted to drive themselves with parent/guardian approval. Students are not permitted to report to a location other than the Nurse’s Office when ill or injured. Once a student enters the school, only dismissals from the Attendance or Nurse’s Offices are legal excuses; students who phone home and request parental pick-up are subject to disciplinary action for leaving the building without authorization. Parent Conferences Parents are encouraged to make appointments for conferences with teachers, counselors, or administrators. So that all participants can be prepared to conduct productive conferences, parents and school officials will seek to arrange conferences at mutually convenient times. Parent/guardians may request conferences by telephoning the Administration or Guidance Office indicating the purpose of the conference; a conference time can then be established and necessary participants scheduled to attend the meeting. All parent/guardians must first report to the Administration Office to register as a school visitor and will then be directed to the meeting location. Unannounced visits to teachers’ classrooms will not be permitted. Personal Electronic Devices Technology has become an essential part of education at Norwin School District. Students today have access to a wide variety of mobile computing devices outside of school that they can use for research and assignment completion. With many students owning mobile computing devices and frequently using these devices for their school work, the District has recognized the need to allow students to utilize their own technology in a more seamless way at school. A filtered Internet connection on the District’s wireless network will be provided for authorized student educational use in the instructional setting. This is called the “Bring Your Own Device” or “BYOD” program. Students and parents need to be aware of several rules and requirements before a personal device is brought to school: The student is solely responsible for any electronic devices or related equipment that he/she brings to school. The Norwin School District is not liable for lost, stolen, or damaged equipment. Students are encouraged to secure any devices on their person or in their lockers with a lock. The District expressly prohibits use of personal electronic devices within the building, or on school grounds, unless pre-approved and under the supervision of a classroom teacher or administrator for a specific educational purpose. Electronic devices must remain in the “off” mode, and must not be visible or accessed during the school day, unless expressly permitted by a teacher or principal. Students using personal electronic devices will be required to switch off cell service (also known as setting the device to “airplane mode”), if applicable to their device, during instruction. The school day is defined as beginning upon a student entering the building and lasting until the close of the academic school day. The use of electronic devices for non-educational use while on school grounds will be allowed after the close of the academic school day, but students should continue to adhere to the requirements of Board policies No. 237 and No. 249 while on school grounds, at school-sponsored activities or while under school supervision. Student devices may not be used to cheat on assignments or tests, or for non-instructional purposes (such as making personal phone calls and text/instant messaging) during the instructional day. Inappropriate or unauthorized use of a personal electronic device will 50
esult in confiscation of the device and/or disciplinary action, which may include reporting the matter to legal authorities, if applicable. Students are not permitted to use their own cellular (2G/3G/4G) network during the school instructional day or while engaged in approved educational/instructional activities. Use by a student of a non-District cellular network during the instructional day, during instructional activities, or while otherwise under District supervision is prohibited as a violation of the District’s Acceptable Use Policy No. 802 and the provisions of the federal Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA). Norwin School District shall not be liable for any content viewed on a student’s private network. Any student involved in use of a non-District cellular network during the instructional day, during instructional activities or while under District supervision will be subject to disciplinary action and may be banned from using personal electronic devices at school for the remainder of the school year. Students should not share or lend their personal electronic devices with anyone unless such sharing is specifically permitted or approved by the teacher for collaboration purposes. Student personal electronic devices should come to school charged. Accommodations will not be made for charging devices during school hours. The Norwin staff will not service any non-District purchased or owned technology, which includes troubleshooting, software or hardware issues. Students are responsible for securing their devices and making sure that they have up-to-date anti-virus software installed, if applicable. The District shall not be responsible for any damage or viruses caused to personal electronic devices. Administrators reserve the right to confiscate any electronic device, related technology, or equipment, whether privately owned or school owned, when such is being used in a manner which violates Board Policy or Administrative procedure or in a manner that does not support a safe educational atmosphere for students. Students involved in such uses or acts will be subject to discipline in accordance with District Policy. Legal authorities will be contacted in the event the District’s personnel have reason to believe any local, state, federal or Federal Communications Commission laws or polices have been violated. A student and parent signature indicating knowledge of and consent to these procedures will be included in the Student Handbook, and completion of this sign-off sheet shall be a requirement for participation in Bring Your Own Device educational programs. Under Board policies No. 237 and No. 249, students may not utilize any electronic device or technology to harass, threaten, demean, humiliate, intimidate, embarrass, or annoy their classmates or others in the school community. This is unacceptable student behavior known as cyber bullying and will not be tolerated. Any cyber bullying that is determined to disrupt the safety and/or wellbeing of the school is subject to disciplinary action, which may include reporting the matter to legal authorities, if applicable. Students are responsible to be aware of the appropriateness of communications when using District or personally owned devices. Inappropriate communication, as defined in Board Policy No. 237, is prohibited in any usage of electronic devices undertaken which are subject to Board Policy No. 237, whether by public message, private message, or other material posted online by students. Students and their parents are expected to be familiar with the requirements of Board policies No. 237 and No. 249 regarding inappropriate communications and bullying/cyber bullying. Disciplinary action or involvement of law enforcement personnel, as appropriate, may be taken in the event students engage in inappropriate communications. Access to the District’s computer network and internet connection is a privilege, not a right. Violations of this Policy by a student may result in disciplinary action, including but not limited to confiscation of the electronic device, banning of the student from using personal electronic devices at school for the remainder of the year, or reporting the matter to legal authorities if applicable. When cell phones or other electronic devices are confiscated, the student’s parent or guardian must come into the school during school hours to pick up the device. Students may be asked to use electronic devices for word processing, presentation development/delivery, as well as permissible photography or recording of audio and video. Any student who attempts to photograph any other individual or record any audio or video of any individual must have the individual’s knowledge and consent to do so. Any unauthorized capturing or unauthorized dissemination of audio, video or images of students or other school employees or officials may implicate an individual’s personal privacy or rights under applicable statute, such as FERPA, IDEA, copyright law or state and federal wiretap statutes. Students should seek approval and permission from all individuals involved, including supervising teachers, 51
