Pajaro Valley USD - Take Home Chromebook Information

Take Home Chromebook Information

All PVUSD students are issued a Chromebook from their school and expected to take care of it, and bring it to school charged and ready to use everyday. The Chromebook is a central tool used by students for instruction, projects, and communication activities both in school and at home and facilitates 24/7 learning for all students and individualizes learning with instructional applications that support students at their level. This leads to increased student engagement and more ownership of learning in and out of the classroom.

General Precautions:

No food or drink should be next to Chromebooks.
Cords, cables, and removable storage devices must be inserted carefully into Chromebooks.
Chromebooks should not be used with the power cord plugged in when the cord may be a tripping hazard.
Chromebooks must remain free of any writing, drawing, stickers, and labels.
Heavy objects should never be placed on top of Chromebooks.
Avoid extreme heat or cold.
Do not lend your Chromebook to anyone
Don’t add stickers or markings to the Chromebook.

digital citizenship

While working in a digital and collaborative environment, students should always conduct themselves as good digital citizens by following these guidelines:

👉Respect Yourself

Show respect for yourself through your actions. Select online names that are appropriate, use caution with the information, images, and other media that you post online. Carefully consider what personal information about your life, experiences, or relationships you post. Act with integrity.

👉Protect Yourself

Ensure that the information, images, and materials you post online will not put you at risk. This includes not publishing personal details, contact details, or a schedule of your activities online. Report to a teacher or parent any attacks or inappropriate behavior directed at you while online. You can also report on-line bullying at https://appweb.stopitsolutions.com/ . You will first need to type in the name of your school. The reports are anonymous!

👉Respect Others

Show respect to others. Do not use electronic mediums to antagonize, bully, or harass people. Choose wisely the websites you visit: do not visit sites that are degrading to others, pornographic, racist, or inappropriate.

👉Protect Others

Protect others by reporting abuse and not forwarding inappropriate materials or communications. Avoid unacceptable materials and conversations. You can report on-line bullying at https://appweb.stopitsolutions.com/ . You will first need to type in the name of your school. The reports are anonymous!

👉Respect and Protect Intellectual property

Request permission to use copyrighted or otherwise protected materials and the media that others produce. Cite all use of websites, books, media, and all primary sources. Validate information. I will use and abide by the fair use rules.

chromebook repair costs

If a student has a chromebook that is damaged and does not have insurance, the cost to repair the chromebook is based on what parts need to be replaced. These costs are different for Elementary and Secondary students because they have different chromebooks. Check the Chromebook Repair Costs doc for current prices for repairs.
