Being a Responsible Member of the School Community

The Crofton House School Student Code of Conduct lays the groundwork for using technology responsibly. The Responsible Use of Technology Agreement extends this by outlining specific conduct related to the use of digital technology, including digital devices. It describes the attitudes and actions needed to keep our technology use appropriate, safe and secure while protecting everyone in the CHS community.

As a student, the statements below describe the expectations for your use of digital technology, whether you're on campus or off. If your actions affect the caring, safe or orderly nature of our school environment, it will be considered a violation of the CHS Student Code of Conduct and investigated as such. There may be consequences to the student for conduct related to the use of technology.  As outlined in the Student Code of Conduct, you are expected to speak up (to a person in authority) when you witness or believe that a member of the community is demonstrating unacceptable conduct.

Conditions Regarding Use of CHS Owned / Student Issued Devices

In a one-to-one technology strategy, students in Grades 1 to 12 are issued devices owned by Crofton House School. There are several conditions associated with this program. 

  1. The device is issued to the student. The student is the only authorized user of that device. Although the student accepts responsibility for the care and use of the device, the device remains the sole property of CHS.
  2. The student-issued devices have a warranty; however, the warranty does not cover loss or theft. If a unit is lost or stolen, a replacement unit will be given, and the student’s account billed for payment in full for the cost of the unit.
  3. The device warranty spans four years (iPads) or five years (MacBooks). The length of the warranty is based on the One to One cycle timeframe.
  4. The device warranty includes any manufacturing defect and two instances of accidental damage. A letter will be sent to parents/guardians to acknowledge the damage and inform them that an instance of accidental damage has been used.    
  5. More than two instances of accidental damage will require payment in full for the cost of the repair, and this will be billed to the student’s account.
  6. If the student’s device is beyond economical repair, the unit will be replaced with a new device. Temporary loaner devices will be issued when required.
  7. Under no circumstances may any school-owned software be transferred to any other device except under the direction of the IT Department.
  8. CHS is not responsible for loss of data or service interruption.
  9. Starting from the 2022/23 school year, if the student has the same computer from Grade 8 to Grade 12, the student will be offered that computer at no extra cost and may take it with them when they graduate. This is conditional upon the IT Department resetting the device to factory settings.
  10. Students are not allowed to replace their student-issued device with a personal device; however, they may bring a secondary device to complement the student-issued device, such as an iPad or tablet.

Crofton House 学校的措施:

Crofton House 学校采取了相关措施，以确保我们社区成员的安全和网络的安全性与完整性。学校保留以下权利，无需提前通知：

  • 监控、访问、检索、下载、复制、听取或删除 CHS 计算机网络或设备上的任何内容，且不需通知或获得用户许可。
  • 限制、检查、复制、移除或删除未经授权使用学校技术的行为。

数字设备使用指南

在学校正确使用我们的设备有助于每个人保持专注，支持我们的福祉。通过遵守本指南的规则，我们可以确保数字设备的积极使用，并帮助我们未来学会如何负责任地使用科技。

规则 #1：CHS 学生是负责任的学习者，她们可以并且希望培养有助于健康和高效生活的习惯。 学校为学生提供了有效学习的工具，包括数字技术。课程包括关于教育性、健康性和安全使用数字设备的专门指导。 像其他人一样，学生正在学习如何管理数字设备的吸引力和干扰。学校通过提供支持、机会和健康边界来促进这种学习，并确保学生有足够的自主性。

规则 #2：随着学生年龄的增长，数字设备的使用权限会发生变化。

  • 小学部的学生在放学期间将把个人手机或智能手机锁好。以下规则适用于学校发放的 iPad 的使用。
  • 中学部的学生将根据本指南的规则，在一天中自行管理个人手机、智能手机和学校发放的笔记本电脑的使用。

规则 #3：教师在课堂上管理数字设备的使用。 教师负责为所有学生创造积极和有建设性的学习环境。他们会清晰一致地告知学生何时以及如何使用数字设备（如 iPad、笔记本电脑、手机、耳机、智能手表）。学生应尊重老师的决定。

规则 #4：学生对数字设备的使用方式可能不同。 有些学生由于生命威胁性疾病（如糖尿病）需要使用数字设备来监控他们的健康。所有人都应支持这些学生在任何时间、任何地点使用设备来监控健康。 部分学生由于个性化教育计划或学生支持计划，需要使用技术来适应他们的多样化学习需求。教师将促进技术的使用，帮助这些学生更有效地获取学习内容。

规则 #5：学校有些地方禁止使用数字设备。 学校的某些区域是禁止使用数字设备的，包括：

  • Manrell 大厅：这是一个用于面对面交流的空间。
  • 洗手间和更衣室：这些地方需尊重隐私权。

创建人物、场所、物体和事件的表现形式的指南

数字技术赋予我们为教育目的创建人物、场所、物体和事件表现形式的能力。这种强大的工具在伦理和负责的使用下，可以提升教育效果。

在创建人物、场所、物体或事件的虚构表现形式之前，我将确保：

  • 有教师知晓并且有合理的教育原因。
  • 内容明确表示这是表现形式而非现实。
  • 没有违反任何法律。
  • 该表现形式不会对他人或他们的声誉造成伤害。
  • 我将在内容本身中清楚标注虚构表现形式。
  • 我会事先获得所有相关人员的许可，解释该表现形式，并允许他们拒绝或要求删除该内容。
