Hermon High School Expectations for Student Use of Laptops
School-issued laptops are a valuable tool meant to be used by students for educational purposes. All students must adhere to the Acceptable Use Policy. Students are not to be accessing content featuring topics that are not appropriate for the school setting, such as topics that are drug-related, violent, or sexual in nature.
Students also need to recognize the importance of taking proper care of these laptops, as they may have the device for up to four years. In future years a laptop fee will be collected each year to help offset the cost of general maintenance and repair.
General guidelines for the care and appropriate use of laptops:
● Your school-issued laptop is to be used only by you - the student to whom the laptop has been issued.
● Absolutely no food or drinks should be consumed or placed near the laptop.
● Laptop should be placed in its case when not in use.
● The laptop should be protected from heat, cold, and all types of weather.
● Only the laptop and charger should be placed in the designated laptop case.
● The laptop should not be carried in a backpack or bookbag outside its case.
● Laptop should be fully charged when the student returns to school.
● The laptop should never be left unattended in public areas or at school events.
