Responsible Use of Technology Agreement

Version: November 2022

中文浏览

The “acceptable behaviour” outlined in the Crofton House School Code of Conduct is the foundation for much of what defines "responsible use" of technology; however, the full Responsible Use of Technology Agreement extends beyond behaviour to attitudes and actions intended to create a safe and secure environment that includes the use of technology.  Further, it outlines the conditions for the use of student issued technology and the practices in place at Crofton House School to protect the safety and security of members of the CHS community and the integrity of the CHS network. 

Responsibility of the User

As a student at Crofton House School you are required to agree with statements that define “responsible use”. Your agreement to the responsible use of technology extends to all of your uses of digital technology, whether on-campus or off-campus, and whether using school-owned devices and software or personal owned devices and software. When irresponsible use has negative consequences that impact a safe, caring and orderly environment at Crofton House School, this agreement, together with the Code of Conduct will be enforced. Individuals who are aware of any irresponsible use are required to report this to a responsible adult or the CHS administration.

As with the Crofton House School Code of Conduct, some statements relate specifically to students while others are relevant to the whole community, including students, staff, and parents.

Behaviour

  1. I understand that my actions online impact me, those around me, and others across the world; therefore, I will be a safe, responsible, and respectful digital citizen.
  2. I will speak up to a person in authority when I witness or believe that a member of the community is demonstrating unacceptable behaviour and thereby negatively impacting a safe, caring and/or orderly school.
  3. During class and meetings, I will follow teachers’ guidelines for technology use, including when, and how it is to be used.
  4. I will refrain from using technology in spaces such as Manrell Hall and where there is an expectation of privacy, such as washrooms and change rooms.
  5. I will bring the school-owned device daily and make sure it is charged for classes that require the use of technology (grade 6 – 12 students only).
  6. I will pause before I print to consider the necessity of printing and then, if necessary, print using double-sided and black ink as much as possible. Crofton House School reserves the right to charge my student account if it is determined that printing has been excessive.
  7. I will obtain consent before taking/using digital photographs, videos or audio recordings of people. This includes the recording of teachers’ lessons and recording of remote learning lessons via Zoom or other software.
  8. I will be trustworthy and use only the resources permitted, provide evidence of learning that belongs to me alone, and avoid shortcuts.
  9. When using a mobile device, I will be stationary (not moving). This is a habit that may save my life.
  10. When I’m in a remote learning environment, I will be online on time, dressed for learning, and be fully attentive to others.
  11. When connecting with others in a real-time remote learning environment, I will be aware of what can be seen and heard around me.  

Personal Safety

  1. I will keep my CHS email and computer network passwords private, and not use another’s password.
  2. I will not give out or put online personal/private information (such as my name, address, telephone number) that compromises my well-being, the well-being of others, or the security of the school community. 
  3. I will use only my Crofton House School email for school-related email communications, and I will use a private account for all non-school-related communications.
  4. I will refrain from responding to any messages that are objectionable or make me feel uncomfortable. 
  5. If I come across any information that is objectionable or that makes me feel uncomfortable, I will inform a trusted adult immediately, even if this happens when I am not at school.

Privacy

  1. I will act in a manner that respects the privacy of others, including photographing or filming others without consent. 
  2. I will ensure that devices that store or have access to CHS information (e.g. laptops, phones, tablets), are password protected with a secure password known only to me.
  3. I will maintain the safety of the group by keeping video conference invitations and password private.
  4. I will make sure that all settings on websites and apps are set appropriately to control my privacy.
  5. I will obtain consent before distributing, sharing, or publishing personal information (such as names, birthdays, or addresses), digital images, video or audio recordings of people by any means including email, social media, social networks, or websites.

Social Media

  1. Before registering for an account with a social media site, I will do my best to understand what would be good about the site and what might go wrong.
  2. The only social media accounts that I will use my CHS email to sign up for are social media accounts that are used for a school-related purpose as directed by my teacher or a CHS staff member.
  3. I will remember that, as a part of the Crofton House School community, I will follow the CHS Code of Conduct which includes acceptable behaviour during all online discussions and activities.
  4. I am personally responsible for the content I publish on social media sites, including Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, Reddit, LinkedIn, YouTube, blogs, Discord, and other social media. 
  5. I will obtain permission from Crofton House School’s Communications Department before creating a social media account on behalf of the school or a school-related group (e.g. a club-related Instagram account).
  6. The only time I will “friend” or “follow” a current CHS teacher or staff member is when the interaction is on a social media platform that is used solely for school-based purposes.

Care of CHS Owned / Student Issued Devices

  1. I will care for my student issued device, including keeping it in its school-provided protective case at all times.
  2. I will keep the device away from food, liquid, and other materials that may impact the condition or functioning of the device.
  3. I will immediately report any damage to the device or the school-provided software to the IT support team.
  4. I will be the only user of the CHS device that is issued to me.

  6. I will make sure I have not left the device behind when leaving a car, the bus, or a classroom. 
  7. I will immediately report any theft of a school-owned device to the police and the school, and provide a copy of the police report to the IT support team.
  8. I will immediately report any theft of a device that is used to access school information to the police and the IT support team.

Crofton House School Practices

Practices are in place at Crofton House School to ensure the safety and security of members of our community and network security and integrity. The school reserves the right, without notice, to:

  1. Monitor, access, retrieve, download, copy, listen to, or delete anything stored in, created, received or sent on CHS’s computer networks, from devices connected to our network, using school-related software, or any other school equipment, without notice and without the permission of any user.
  2. Limit or restrict any individual's use, and to inspect, copy, remove, or delete any unauthorized use of this technology.
  3. Review any and all files, data and messages, without notice, to ensure that students are using the system responsibly at all times.

CHS makes no warranties of any kind, whether expressed or implied, for the monitoring of its network services. Access to any information obtained via the internet is at the user’s own risk. Crofton House School is not responsible for the accuracy or quality of information obtained through its network services.

Disciplinary Actions

Evidence of violations of the Crofton House School Responsible Use of Technology Agreement will be investigated by School directors (Junior or Senior School), in consultation with one or more of the following individuals: Assistant Directors (Junior or Senior School), IT Integration and Educational Technology Teacher (Junior School), Coordinator of Information Technology (Senior School), Director of Information Technology, and IT Support Staff. When warranted, School directors (Junior or Senior School) will identify disciplinary consequences for inappropriate behaviour. The CHS Code of Conduct outlines the actions and process the school will follow for ‘Unacceptable Behaviour’ including that related to a failure to uphold this agreement. It also outlines the process for appealing any disciplinary decision. 

Conditions Regarding Use of CHS Owned / Student Issued Devices

In a one-to-one technology strategy, students in Grades 1 to 12 are issued devices that are owned by Crofton House School. There are a number of conditions associated with this program. 

  • The device is issued to the student. The student is the only authorized user of that device. Although the student accepts responsibility for the care and use of the device, the device remains the sole property of CHS.
  • The school-owned devices have a warranty; however, the warranty does not cover loss or theft. If a unit is lost or stolen, a replacement unit will be given and the student’s account billed for payment in full for the cost of the unit.
  • The device warranty has a life span of 4 years (iPads) or 5 years (Macbooks). The length of the warranty is based on the One to One cycle timeframe.
  • The device warranty includes any manufacturing defect and 2 instances of accidental damage. A letter will be sent to parents/guardians to acknowledge the damage and inform them that an instance of accidental damage has been used.    
  • More than two instances of accidental damage will require payment in full for the cost of the repair and this will be billed to the student’s account.
  • If the student’s device is beyond economical repair, the unit will be replaced with a new device. Temporary loaner devices will be issued when required.
  • Under no circumstances may any CHS owned software be transferred to any other device except under the direction of the IT  Department.
  • CHS is not responsible for loss of data, or service interruption.
  • Starting from the 2022/23 school year, if the student has the same computer from Grade 8 to Grade 12, the student will be offered that computer at no extra cost and may take it with them when they graduate. This is conditional upon the IT Department resetting the device to factory settings.
     

* If the student has the same model from Grade 8 to Grade 12, they own that unit and may take it with them when they graduate (after the IT Dept. has removed the device from CHS systems and been erased).
