Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart iPad Program Guidelines

Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart will distribute iPads to all students in grades 6-12, beginning in the school year 2011-2012. These devices will provide our girls with greater access to information, and more ability to collaborate and connect with the electronic world than we have been able to achieve at school in the past. It is Stuart’s hope that the devices will enable students and teachers to freely engage in rigorous, relevant, and relational education experiences as never before. With this freedom comes rules and regulations governing the use of iPads. These rules and regulations follow:

 As with the use of all electronic devices at Stuart, the student is expected to follow the guidelines of Stuart’s Acceptable Use Policy.

I. Distribution and Ownership
 * Over the summer, the student and her parent(s) will be expected to attend a three- hour workshop (a.k.a. iPad Boot Camp) reviewing care, expectations and basic iPad training. iPads will be distributed to each student at the end of the workshop upon Stuart’s receipt of an iPad User Agreement signed by the student and her parent(s).
 * The iPad is the property of Stuart Country Day School, although the student will maintain possession of the device as long as she is a Stuart student or until the device is replaced by the school. Stuart will maintain records of device serial numbers to link each student to her specific iPad. Students will be required to return the iPad upon leaving Stuart.
 * Students will be required to care for their iPads and use them with good judgement.
 * Each student should have the iPad in her possession or in her locker throughout the school day.

II Treatment of the iPads
 * Each student will be responsible for the care of her iPads and included accessories. It is expected that iPad and all included accessories will be returned to the school in good working condition on request.
 * The iPad should not be written on, defaced or vandalized in any way. Stuart labels should not be removed or altered in any manner. The student may decorate her iPad cover to individualize her device.
 * The iPad should be kept away from food and water, and should be treated carefully, including keeping it safe from extreme heat or cold.
 * The iPad should be cleaned with a soft cloth without abrasives. An iPad user guide with complete care instructions is available for free. Appropriate care will be demonstrated at the opening workshop.
 * The iPad should not be loaned or shared with other students for any reason and should remain the private device of the student to whom it was issued.
 * The student will be expected to bring her <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; vertical-align: baseline;">__charged__ <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;"> iPads to school every day, unless told otherwise by her teachers/Division Head. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that she charges the iPads overnight.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">II Replacement and Repair of the iPads
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">A lost or damaged iPad and/or its accessories are the responsibility of the student. In the instance of the first lost iPad or repairs not covered through the Apple Care warranty, the student will be charged $500 to replace the device. Any subsequent loss will result in a charge to the family of the full replacement cost.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Stuart encourages parents to add the iPad to their homeowner’s insurance in case it is lost or stolen.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">III Use While At School
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The iPad should be used solely for academic purposes. The student should not use the Stuart network for non-education purposes including shopping, streaming video, personal email and other non-academic uses. Movies and apps for entertainment purposes should not be used at school during academic hours (8 am - 3 pm) without specific permission.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">In support of Stuart’s commitment to be a steward of the environment, students will not be able to directly print to the school’s printers from an iPad. If a student needs to print, she can do so from the school’s laptops or desktop computers.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">IV Application Management
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">A group of core applications will be provided with the iPad. The technology department will send vouchers which the student can redeem for the purchase of these applications.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The student may be required to acquire applications relevant to specific classes during the year; these may or may not be free. As with textbooks, the cost of these purchases is the student’s responsibility.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The student may not install any data on her iPad that is contrary to the values and mission of Stuart Country Day School of the Sacred Heart. This includes music, movies, photographs or applications containing explicit material of a violent, sexual or inappropriate nature.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Stuart faculty may inspect a student’s iPad at any time. Any materials that are determined to be unacceptable or inappropriate must be immediately deleted from the iPad.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Stuart does not encourage or recommend the installation of any applications in addition to what has been requested by the school. Any additional purchases of applications are made at the sole discretion of the families and only with parental permission.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">VI Data
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The student is responsible for backing up all of her data and syncing her iPad regularly.
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Technical issues or an iPad malfunction are not reasonable excuses for not completing assigned work on time, unless there was no other way to complete the assignment.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">VII Student Behavior
 * <span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">The student is expected to use the iPad in a way that is consistent with the Goals of the Sacred Heart and behaviors expected of a Stuart student. All use of the iPad must conform to the rules specified in the the Acceptable Use Policy. Rules governing judiciary and disciplinary procedures as stated in the Stuart Handbook will apply to the use of iPads.

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #000000; font-family: Arial; font-size: 14.6667px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">Some Examples of Prohibited Behaviors:
