Secondary RUA<\/strong><\/h3>

At the beginning of each school year, every middle and high school building has its own processes to re-orient students to District expectations around technology use. This includes the logistical procedures as well as the behavioral expectations around technology use for students.<\/p>

Beyond these back-to-school lessons, when a student signs into their Chromebook or the LPS portal<\/a> (where they find all of their learning materials) they are presented with a reminder of those expectations.<\/p>

The student RUA can be viewed in detail at any time by entering LPS.org keyword: RUA<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>.<\/p>

Elementary RUA<\/strong><\/h3>

Before using Chromebooks for the first time each year, elementary teachers take time to discuss and model what responsible and appropriate technology use will look like in our classrooms. The student RUA is used to frame classroom discussions around appropriate behaviors when using devices and network services in the classroom setting, as opposed to the behaviors they may express when using devices in a personal (home) setting.\u00a0<\/p>

Student ownership of behaviors and consequences are also discussed. At the end of the discussion, students are asked to sign a \u201cResponsible Use Agreement\u201d which acts as a behavioral contract with their teacher.<\/p>

This process may be done on paper, or via a Google Form, and will be adjusted by the teacher for grade level appropriateness.<\/p>
