1:1 Technology Initiative

Printing

Students shall be encouraged to digitally publish and share their work with their teachers and peers via Schoology. Printing from DASD devices at school is tracked. Students may set up plug-in-play printers to print from their DASD device at home. DASD cannot provide technology support for at-home printers.

The district utilizes a content filter (Securly) that is in compliance with the federally-mandated Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA/COPPA). All DASD devices, regardless of physical location (at school or home), shall have all internet activity filtered and monitored by the district. Circumventing the DASD content filter to access the internet or services is a violation of the AUP. The Securly Home app for parents is a valuable tool to help keep students safer when on their school-issued devices. The parent app has the ability to block sites, like YouTube, and create schedules when the device is inaccessible to the web, like dinner time and bedtime. The app also displays a real-time view of your child’s activity on their school-issued device. Parents also receive a weekly email from Securly with a snapshot report of that week’s activity. Please review the written directions to access the parent Securly Home app, along with the Securly Parent FAQ. If you want to learn more about Securly’s online safety solutions, please visit www.securly.com. For additional information, please email. homesupport@securly.com.

Annual Digital Citizenship lessons will be shared with students to address respectful, responsible, ethical, and safe use of the internet and digital tools. A vital part of digital citizenship is maintaining a secure network. All users must treat their DASD credentials with the same level of concern and confidentially as their personal social security number or banking information. For important information about phishing concerns please visit this resource. 

Students shall have no expectation of confidentiality or privacy with respect to any usage of a DASD device, regardless of whether that use is for school-related or personal purposes, other than as specifically provided by COPPA and FERPA. The district may, without prior notice or consent, log, supervise, access, monitor, and/or document use at any time for any reason related to the operation of the district. By using a device, students agree to such access, monitoring, and logging of their use. Please consult the AUP for additional information. 

DASD provides online storage, productivity, collaboration applications, and services to students using Google Workspace for Education. This service, as well as authorized third-party partner providers, allow the district to manage and monitor student use of these services in accordance with our AUP and COPPA. Please visit the Google Workspace privacy protections for more information. The district uses many valuable online tools to further instructional goals, personalize curriculum, and meet necessary data management and reporting functions. The district protects student privacy in compliance with applicable federal laws and school board policies. Any software service provider and vendor with whom the district contracts agrees to protect student privacy using all commercially reasonable means and complies with all federal laws prohibiting the use of student information for commercial marketing purposes. Federal privacy laws do allow sharing of what may constitute an ‘educational record’ in limited circumstances. For more information about protecting student privacy, please visit the Student Privacy Compass.

Students may be asked to provide their DASD device for inspection. The purpose of inspection shall be to check for proper care and maintenance as well as check for inappropriate digital material. Devices can be inspected physically or remotely. DASD does not have the capacity to remotely access device cameras or microphones. The casework of the device should not be opened by the student or parent under any circumstances. Having illicit and/or inappropriate content/hardware on a device is a violation of the AUP.
