Campbell Union High School District (“CUHSD” or “District”) supports the use of technology for the purpose of enhancing instruction and improving student learning. Technology is embedded throughout the California Common Core Standards and is an integral part of instruction and student productivity. In preparing students to be college and career ready, technology provides opportunities for students to become collaborative, communicative, creative, and critical learners. CUHSD is committed to delivering high quality educational experiences for students that will give them the skills needed to succeed in both college and todays’ workforce. CUHSD is pleased to offer teachers, students, and other school personnel access to computer networks and devices to access district-supplied technology and online-resources to extend learning on and off campus.

By accepting the Aeries registration authorization, both the parent/guardian and student agree that they have read the terms and conditions of the Student Acceptable Use Agreement & Equipment Authorization and understand the expectations of the program. Failure to follow the directions and/or meet the expectations included in this pledge may result in immediate removal from the program. The terms and conditions of this pledge may be updated without prior notice. This pledge must be renewed annually.

Responsible Technology Use and Digital Responsibility

CUHSD maintains an environment that promotes ethical and responsible uses of

technology by staff and students. CUHSD permits and encourages the use of its systems

in support of educational or professional objectives consistent with the mission and goals

of CUHSD. The following guidelines shall govern a student’s direct or indirect use of

CUHSD Technology, whether on or off school grounds:

Student Responsible Use:

10. Students shall not access, post, submit, publish, or display harmful or inappropriate matter that is threatening, lewd, vulgar, obscene, disruptive, or sexually explicit, or that could reasonably be construed as harassment or disparagement of others based on their race/ethnicity, national origin, sex, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability,religion, or political beliefs.

1. “Harmful matter” means matter, taken as a whole, which to the average person, applying contemporary statewide standards, appeals to the prurient interest,and is matter which, taken as a whole, depicts or describes in a patently offensive way sexual conduct and which, lacks serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value for minors.” (Penal Code § 313)

11. Students must obtain prior approval from the system operator prior to subscribing to outside email distribution lists or outside electronic bulletin boards.
12. Unless otherwise instructed by school personnel, students shall not disclose, use, or disseminate personal identification information about themselves or others when using email, chat rooms, or other forms of direct electronic communication. Students also are cautioned not to disclose such information by other means to individuals contacted through the Internet without the permission of school personnel or, in the case of minor students, their parents/guardians. Personal information includes the student's name, address, telephone number, Social Security number, or other personally identifiable information.
13. Students shall not use CUHSD Technology to encourage the use of drugs, alcohol, or tobacco, nor shall they promote unethical practices or use CUHSD Technology in violation of any state law, federal law, Board policy, or Board administrative regulations.
14. Students shall not use CUHSD Technology to engage in commercial or other for-profit activities, unless otherwise authorized by CUHSD.
15. Students shall report any security problem or misuse of the services to the Technology Department, teacher or principal. Students shall not attempt to interfere with other students' ability to send or receive email, nor shall they attempt to read, delete, copy, modify, or use another individual's identity. This includes any unauthorized use of another individual’s password or accessing another individual’s account, whether within or outside of CUHSD’s network.
16. Students shall not intentionally upload, download, or create computer viruses and/or maliciously attempt to harm or destroy CUHSD Technology or manipulate the data of any other student, including hacking or unauthorized access.

21. Students shall not access or process pornographic material, inappropriate text files (as

determined by the system operator), or files that endanger the integrity of the local area

network.

22. Without teacher or other CUHSD authorization, students shall not install any software,

including shareware, freeware, or entertainment software, VPNs or extension for use on CUHSD Technology.

Equipment Authorization & Chromebook Care

The Campbell Union School District provides Chromebooks to all students as part of the district’s one-to-one initiative, distributed during enrollment and returned upon graduation or departure. Managed through our Destiny asset system, Chromebooks, chargers, hotspots, and associated materials remain the property of the district. Students must ensure proper care and maintenance of these items, as each device issued is their direct responsibility. Failure to comply with the following requirements may result in termination of this agreement:

• Only use their assigned Chromebook and not lend it to others.
• Avoid placing books or items on top of the Chromebook.
• Never leave the device unattended.
• Refrain from placing inappropriate stickers on the device.
• Use the device solely for academic purposes, with incidental activity permitted as long as it adheres to CUHSD policies, regulations, and legal expectations.
• Promptly report any issues with device functionality or physical condition.
• Avoid consuming food or beverages while using the device.
• Handle the charger carefully to prevent damage.

Proper device use directly impacts performance and longevity. To maintain Chromebooks in good working order, students must:

• Refrain from inserting anything forcefully into ports or slots.
• Handle the device carefully, avoiding jerking, dropping, or slamming the cover.
• Avoid carrying the Chromebook by the screen or with it in the open position.
• Prevent mishandling or misuse that could cause damage.
• Keep the Chromebook clean, using a damp non-abrasive cloth for cleaning.
• Ensure the device is disconnected from the charger and completely shut off before cleaning.
• Avoid exposing the device to extreme heat, such as leaving it in a vehicle during temperatures exceeding 90 degrees Fahrenheit.

Lost, Stolen or Damaged Chromebooks

CUHSD does not directly provide accidental device protection. The student is responsible for securing and keeping the device safe. Students are responsible for the replacement cost of any lost or stolen Chromebook or damaged device. Accidental damage is defined as:

• Damage caused by an unintentional drop
• Damage caused by an unintentional liquid submersion
• Damage caused by fire, flood, natural disasters or power surges caused by lightning

In the case of a lost or stolen Chromebook, the family must file and provide a completed police report and provide it to their child’s school. Also, the district reserves the right to inquire about the events that led up to any reported claim.

Privacy & Internet Filter

There is no expectation of privacy. The District may, without prior notice or consent, log, supervise, access, video, monitor, and record use of student Chromebooks at any time for any reason related to the operation of the District.

The District utilizes an Internet Content Filter that is in compliance with the federally mandated Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA). All computer activity is logged while at school and may be logged and filtered when off campus on the device as well. While the District provides and utilizes such resources, no program is fail-safe and it is possible that inappropriate content may appear on a device. The District assumes no responsibility for such an occurrence and relies on parent supervision while students are accessing content on the Internet away from school.  

The district utilizes GoGuardian as a platform to easily manage student devices, better understand student activity, and keeps students safe online.

How is GoGuardian being used at CUHSD?

We have services to:

• Help protect students against harmful and inappropriate online material
• Help students stay “scholarly” and more focused when learning online
• Helping assess students’ progress towards class assignments
• Facilitating communication between teachers and students during class time

When and how does GoGuardian operate?

GoGuardian’s web-based services operate on our school’s managed Google Suite for Education Chrome accounts (i.e., when a student is logged into Google Chrome or a Chromebook with his/her school email address). A teacher must login and begin a session in order for the monitoring to begin.

What are my parental/guardian and child’s responsibilities?

We ask that students use school-managed Google accounts and school-managed devices for educational purposes. While GoGuardian is available, not all teachers will be using it daily. When online, parents are responsible for supervising internet access and usage. We encourage discussing rules for appropriate internet usage with children and reinforcing lessons of digital citizenship and safety. We also highly encourage reporting any potential cyberbullying or other sensitive issues.

How does GoGuardian help protect my child’s privacy?

To help your child remain scholarly and safe online, GoGuardian collects certain personally identifiable information about your child. GoGuardian has consulted with privacy experts, participates in privacy organizations, is a proud signatory of the Student Privacy Pledge, and has been awarded certifications by iKeepSafe for complying with both Family Education Rights and Privacy Act and California student privacy laws. For more detailed information about GoGuardian, you may visit GoGuardian’s website, Trust & Privacy Center, GoGuardian’s Product Privacy Policy, and the attached COPPA Notice and Disclosure Form.

Cyberbullying

Students may be subject to discipline for off-campus misconduct if the misconduct is related

to school activity or attendance and causes or is reasonably likely to cause a substantial

disruption to school activity. For example, a student using technology such as a home

computer, cellular phone, or other electronic communication device may be disciplined for

engaging in unlawful harassment or making threats against students, staff, or district property

even if such misconduct occurred off-campus and during non-school hours if the behavior

causes or is reasonably likely to cause a substantial disruption to school activity.

Bullying is defined in Education Code 48900(r)(1), which read as follows when this RUP was

last revised: “‘Bullying’ means any severe or pervasive physical or verbal act or conduct,

including communications made in writing or by means of an electronic act, and including

one or more acts committed by a pupil or group of pupils as defined in [Education Code]

section 48900.2, 48900.3, or 48900.4, directed toward one or more pupils that has or can be

reasonably predicted to have the effect of one or more of the following:

1. Placing a reasonable pupil or pupils in fear of harm to that pupil’s or those pupils’

person or property.

2. Causing a reasonable pupil to experience a substantially detrimental effect on his or

her physical or mental health.

3. Causing a reasonable pupil to experience substantial interference with his or her

academic performance.

4. Causing a reasonable pupil to experience substantial interference with his or her

ability to participate in or benefit from the services, activities, or privileges provided

by a school.” “Electronic act” is defined in Education Code 48900(r)(2)(A), which read as follows when

5. this RUP was last revised: “Electronic act” means the creation and transmission originated on or off the school site, including, but not limited to, a telephone, wireless telephone or other wireless communication device, computer, or pager, of a communication, including, but not

limited to, any of the following:

1. A message, text, sound, or image.
2. A post on a social network Internet Web site including, but not limited to:
3. Posting to or creating a burn page. “Burn page” means an Internet Web site

created for the purpose of having one or more of the effects listed in

paragraph (1)[48900(r)(1).]

4. Creating a credible impersonation of another actual pupil for the purpose of

having one or more of the effects listed in paragraph (1). “Credible

impersonation” means to knowingly and without consent impersonate a pupil

for the purpose of bullying the pupil and such that another pupil would

reasonably believe, or has reasonably believed that the pupil was or is the

pupil who was impersonated.

Creating a false profile for the purpose of having one or more of the effects listed in paragraph (1) refers to the act of generating an online persona with deceptive intent. A "false profile" encompasses various forms, including:

1. Fabricated profiles representing fictitious individuals.
2. Profiles utilizing the likeness or characteristics of a real person without their consent.
3. Pages impersonating entities or organizations.

Software Ethics and Copyright Compliance

All students within the Campbell Union High School District are obligated to adhere to software license agreements, prohibiting the unauthorized duplication of copyrighted software, except for backup and archival purposes, in accordance with federal law and district policy. A Record of Use Policy (RUP) will be upheld in students' records at each school. By accepting this RUP, students also commit to a Software Code of Ethics, which includes:

1. Adherence to software license agreements.
2. Prohibition of creating unauthorized software copies.
3. Acknowledgment of the strict prohibition against the use of illegal software copies on district technology.
4. Awareness that individuals engaging in unauthorized copying or use of software may face disciplinary actions, such as suspension or expulsion.
5. Understanding that individuals caught making illegal software copies may face civil and/or criminal penalties, in addition to disciplinary actions.
6. Reporting any suspected software misuse to a teacher, school administrator, or the District’s Technology Services Department.

Students must comply with all applicable copyright laws, refraining from downloading, distributing, or using copyrighted materials without specific written permission from the copyright owner, except for activities permitted under the Fair Use Doctrine of the U.S. Copyright Law. Any materials utilized for research projects or other student-created work must be appropriately cited. Misuse of CUHSD's Technology may result in the restriction or cancellation of student access and may lead to disciplinary and/or legal action, including reprimand, suspension, expulsion, civil action for damages recovery, or criminal prosecution by government authorities.
