Keeping students safe while they learn with technology is a responsibility we take seriously. LCSD1’s 1:1 program includes multiple layers of protection designed to provide appropriate access, safeguard student data, and keep students focused—both at school and at home.

We are also transparent with families: no system is perfect, and the internet is constantly evolving. If concerns arise, we want families to understand the safeguards in place and how to report issues quickly.

Web Content Filtering (On and Off Campus)

All student iPads use district-managed web filtering that works whether students are connected at school, at home, or on public Wi-Fi.

Our filtering system:

• Blocks categories of inappropriate or harmful content (such as adult material, violence, gambling, and known malicious sites)

• Applies age-appropriate rules

• Cannot be turned off or bypassed by students

• Continues functioning outside the school network

Filtering rules are reviewed and updated regularly as new websites and risks emerge.

Mobile Device Management (MDM)

LCSD1 manages all student iPads through a secure Mobile Device Management (MDM) system. This allows the district to centrally configure, protect, and support devices.

Through MDM, we can:

• Enforce filtering and security settings

• Install, update, or remove apps remotely

• Apply security updates automatically

• Lock or locate a lost device

• Respond quickly if a device is misused

Students cannot remove district management controls.

Classroom Monitoring & Teacher Tools (Mosyle Classroom)

Teachers use classroom management tools to support instruction and reduce distractions.

Teachers can:

• Limit apps or websites during class

• Lock devices into specific learning activities or assessments

• View student screens during instruction

• Help keep students focused

These tools are used during school hours to support learning—not to monitor students outside instructional contexts.

App Review & Approval Process

Apps are not freely installed on student iPads. LCSD1 uses a structured review process before approving apps for instructional use.

When reviewing apps, we consider:

• Student data privacy

• Educational value and curriculum alignment

• Age appropriateness

• Accessibility and usability

• Compliance with state, federal, and district policies

Apps that do not meet privacy or instructional standards are not approved.

When Issues Occur

Despite layered protections, issues may occasionally arise. Examples may include:

• Inappropriate content appearing through ads or embedded media

• Apps behaving unexpectedly

• Attempts to access restricted content

If this happens, we want to know immediately.

Families and students should report concerns by:

• Contacting the school or teacher

• Reaching out to the LCSD1 Technology Service Desk

• Using district support links on this page

Prompt reporting allows us to investigate and adjust settings to prevent similar issues.

Partnering With Families

Technology safety works best when schools and families partner together. In addition to district protections, families can:

• Use ScreenGuide to manage device use at home

• Talk with students about responsible online behavior

• Encourage students to report anything that makes them uncomfortable

Our goal is to provide meaningful access to technology while maintaining a safe, secure, and developmentally appropriate learning environment.

The 1:1 device and equipment referenced in this document is currently an iPad, a keyboard case, a Logitech Crayon, a USB charging cable, and a charging power adapter. The devices and equipment are the property of LCSD#1 and are on loan to students who adhere to district 1:1 policies and expectations. The consequences for failure to follow these terms may include the loss of this privilege and/or disciplinary action.

Student Expectations

1. Ownership: Title and ownership of all student devices remain with LCSD#1. Student devices are issued to students enrolled in LCSD#1. Students leaving the district are required to return the device, along with its case and accessories, to the school of enrollment, as these items are the property of LCSD#1.
   • Students are responsible for the device checked out to them. Students may not loan the device to any other person.
   • School devices and accessories will be checked in at the end of each school year and at any date determined by LCSD#1. Students who transfer, withdraw, or are suspended/expelled will return the device and accessories to LCSD#1 at the time of withdrawal.
   • Wyoming Statute 21-4-308 allows school districts to withhold diplomas and credits until payment has been made for all indebtedness due to the school district. This statute will be implemented with students who fail to pay fines associated with the school devices and/or accessories.
2. Protective Case: Student devices are provided in a protective case. Students must always keep the device in the provided case. Failure to do so may result in damage to the device or void optional insurance coverage.
3. Accessories: A charging power adapter and USB charging cable are provided to each student. A Logitech Crayon may also be provided. If a student loses or damages the cable, power adapter, or Crayon, the student is responsible for the cost of replacing the item.
4. Privacy: LCSD#1 retains the right to collect, monitor and review the content stored on the student devices. Student devices will be subject to routine monitoring by teachers, administrators, and/or technology staff. Users should have no expectation of privacy when using LCSD#1 equipment or technology systems.
   • Students should keep personal information about themselves and others off the device. It is the student's responsibility to keep his/her information secure.
5. Loss: If an iPad or Crayon is lost or stolen, students are expected to report the loss to their school immediately and to provide information to help recover it if possible. A police report may be required for lost or stolen device claims.
6. Repair & Replacement: Students and parents/guardians are responsible for the care of student devices and accessories. If a device is broken or lost, students may be responsible for the cost of repair or replacement. LCSD#1 is the sole owner of the device and repairs can only be facilitated through district processes. Optional device insurance is available and encouraged.
   • If a student opts into the insurance program and accidentally damages their iPad, keyboard case, or Logitech Crayon, LCSD#1 will provide a replacement as quickly as possible at no charge for the first incident. Costs for additional incidents are outlined in the insurance agreement form.
   • If a student chooses not to opt into the insurance program, LCSD#1 will communicate a repair cost to the student and provide a loaner iPad while restitution is made.
7. Policies & Rules: Students are expected to use the technology device appropriately for educational purposes. The use of the student device is a privilege extended to students and is conditioned upon compliance with the requirements of this handbook, the district’s Acceptable Use Policy, and all other district policies.
8. Restrictions: Students are expected to abide by the restrictions placed on devices and not attempt to bypass any limits set by the district or school. Attempts will be monitored and may result in the loss of privilege in using the device and/or disciplinary action.
9. District Resources: LCSD#1 will provide a copy of all required apps and content upon request.
10. Additional Student Responsibilities:
    • Students are expected to have their school device in school each day with a fully charged battery.
    • Students are to save documents and other files to their school-issued Microsoft OneDrive or iCloud folder.
    • When not in use, student devices should be properly stored and secured.
    • The district reserves the right to repossess the device and/or accessories at any time if the student does not fully comply with the terms of this handbook. The district may also choose to limit or withdraw home use privileges or impose disciplinary action for failure to comply.
    • The use of electronic devices during instructional times is governed by classroom teachers. Failure to follow the instructions of the teacher may result in disciplinary action.
    • If a student is suspected of having illegal information, pictures, content, etc., on his or her school device, law enforcement may become involved with the review of the information and possible consequences.
    • Students/parents are responsible for the full cost of any willful, negligent, or intentional damage to the device.

Parents/Guardians are also expected to familiarize themselves with the Student Device Expectations and Student Pledge described above. The LCSD#1 Internet filter works on and off the district network. You are encouraged to set boundaries, safeguards, and expectations for technology use outside LCSD#1’s network. The ScreenGuide app is available to parents and guardians to monitor and control iPads outside of school hours.

The optional student device insurance program is intended to help offset the cost of lost or damaged student devices. Wyoming Statute requires that a fine be assessed for lost or damaged school property including technology. The insurance program is optional but can provide significant savings in the event of accidental damage or loss.

The optional insurance policy premium is an annual, non-refundable $25/year payment per device. It is not pro-ratable for partial semesters or enrollments. The amount of the premium may change from year-to-year based on repair/replacement costs and loss/damage rates. The $25 fee will be waived for students eligible for Free or Reduced lunch under the National School Lunch Program.

The following scenarios provide examples of the coverage under the optional insurance program. The optional insurance program for damages is only valid if the device is in the district-issued case (subject to certain district issued devices).

Insurance Cost Comparison Examples – iPad/Case/Crayon

Notes:

• Additional instances of loss will require the full replacement cost for the device (a police report may be required for loss claims).
• Further incidents of loss or intentional damage will result in the loss of the privilege of utilizing a district device and may require purchasing a new device.

The optional insurance program does NOT cover:

1. Loss or damage of cables or power adapters
2. Intentional damage
3. Damage that occurs when the iPad is out of the district-issued case (if applicable to the device)
4. Loss due to willful negligence
5. Any damage beyond the third incident
