INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY The Bavarian International School's Curriculum Network provides teachers and students with a tool to enhance teaching and learning. The network allows students to acquire, use and present information in a variety of ways and to communicate with people all over the world. Examples of network use may include: • Use of general applications for presenting work such as word processing, and multimedia development; • Use of general applications for data manipulation such as spreadsheets and databases; • Access information for research purposes via the Internet; • Access information from the school’s Intranet; • Send and receive email using the allocated school email account, or other private email accounts. The Upper School is well equipped with computing suites, iMac work-stations, iBook laptops and interactive whiteboards. All student users who have BIS Curriculum Network accounts must comply with the terms and conditions expressed in the Acceptable Use Document. This document, which is to be signed by all students and parents at the beginning of the year, specifically states the rights and responsibilities of all network users and requires all network users to use their account for appropriate communication, education and research and collaborative work. The use of the BIS Curriculum Network is a privilege, not a right, and inappropriate use may result in the cancellation of your privilege and other appropriate disciplinary consequences. STUDENT ONE-TO-ONE PROGRAMME Bavarian International School, in accordance with its Mission and Mandate, actively promotes the appropriate use of technology and responsible digital citizenship to provide an innovative and collaborative educational experience. To that end, in September 2011 all Grade 8 students will be supplied with a 13”Macbook Air for use in the classroom and at home. Grade 7 students will receive their laptops in January 2012, with Grade 9 students to follow in February 2012. BIS issues each student at designated grades with a laptop and protective case together with accessories. All software needed for the curriculum is installed and maintained on the computer by IT Support. Students will be expected to arrive at school each day with the laptop fully charged. Students will be required to have the Middle School/Upper School Acceptable Use Agreement and Laptop Use Agreement forms signed by both their parent/guardian and themselves prior to receiving a laptop from BIS. Each student must comply at all times with the terms stated in this Laptop Handbook and Acceptable Use Agreement. Any failure to comply will result in disciplinary action. In case of damage, loss or theft, parents should notify the school as soon as possible. The school requests that parents complete all the relevant insurance or police paperwork and inform the school 49
immediately. Failure to do so may delay the issuing of a replacement laptop to the student. If the laptop is missing or stolen in school during normal school hours, 9:00am - 4:00pm, students should report the loss immediately to IT Support. NURSE’S OFFICE The following information is provided to inform you of the school health activities and policies as well as the type of medical assistance available through the health department. Your familiarity with this information is absolutely necessary in order to provide your child with the best possible health care. One full-time and one part-time nurse work at BIS, both are registered nurses with active licences to practise in Germany as well as in their home country. The health department is located in the Middle School building opposite the Middle School office on the ground floor. The Health Department is open from Monday to Thursday between 08:30 and 17:30 and Friday between 08:00 and 16:00. Students may visit the nurse’s office at any time of the day. Students should always inform their class teacher before visiting the health department, unless it is an emergency situation. During recess break times, students must always inform duty teacher or the school office before coming to the health department. SCHOOL HEALTH RECORDS It is essential that health records be completed prior the student entering the school. Any pertinent medical information, addresses, telephone numbers, immunization or other information must be brought to the health department. Be sure emergency information is current, and please help in keeping the records up to date. Teachers and staff involved with a student with specific health problems are informed on a confidential basis about his/her medical conditions. The following minimum immunizations are recommended prior to starting school: polio, diphtheria / pertussis / tetanus, and measles/mumps/rubella, hepatitis B. Please be aware that some of these vaccinations have to be given more than once. INFORMATION ON SCHOOL ENROLMENT (GRADE 1) What is the School Entry Medical This free examination is performed in the interests of public health care. The school entry medical is obligatory for all children that will be eligible for school in the coming year. Even if a child enters school at an earlier age than the norm, the child must still undergo a school entry medical before starting school. The U9 early detection medical with a pediatrician is designed for all children between 60 and 64 months old. Both the U9 and the school entry medical are extremely important. ● The U9 early detection medical is performed to detect any acute or chronic illnesses and development delays that the child may have. ● The school entry medical is designed to clarify that the child is healthy enough to meet the requirements of the everyday school day. Parents receive a certificate of attendance at the school entry medical to present to the school. 50
