Device Return
Devices and chargers must be returned to your school building prior to the last day of school or student withdrawal, whichever occurs first. Failure to return items will result in an obligation equal to the value of the device and/or charger. 

Internet Filter
Devices are configured with an Internet filter to prevent users from accessing sites that are inappropriate for educational use. Filtering may be updated periodically to include newly discovered sites that are inappropriate and override blocked sites that are determined to be appropriate. Users may not use software, alter proxy settings, or use any other means to bypass the District’s filter.

Damage
Any damage believed by school administrators to have been caused deliberately or through misuse or neglect will be classified as vandalism.  Thefts must be reported to your principal immediately.  The district will not cover loss or theft, or damage resulting from deliberate misuse or neglect.  Students/parents are responsible for replacement costs.
