Laptop/Tablet Usage

Students are expected to have their own laptop/tablet from home. However, there are a few basic rules necessary for their use at ESA: 1. All personal laptop/tablet usage falls under the Acceptable Use Policy designated for all users while on school property. 2. There is and will be no school liability for damage to the laptop/tablet while being used at school. 3. Students are responsible for the safety and tracking of the laptop/tablet and all possessions necessary for the running of the device. The school assumes no responsibility for loss or theft of any personal units. 4. Students are responsible for all usage issues, and computer literacy, related to the laptop/tablet. Violations may result in the loss of access to technologies on the ESA campus as well as other disciplinary action or legal action. Off campus online activity that violates the

acceptable use policy and has an impact on student learning at ESA may also be subject to disciplinary action.

Files and other communications, both active and stored on local or network hard drives, may be reviewed by the Network Administrator to maintain system integrity and insure that users are using the system responsibly.

Finally, the network is provided for students to conduct research and communicate with others. Access is a privilege – not a right. Access entails responsibility.
