These computers, like textbooks, will be loaned to students for the rest of this year. Like you, we want your children to be safe, knowledgeable and efficient with technology. We have an existing Acceptable Use Policy that you have read, reviewed and agreed to in the Student Parent Handbook we distribute at the beginning of the year. If you would like to review the policy, please use this link. http://mesaschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/MESAHandbook-2014-1511.docm.pdf In addition to our District Policy we have attached a document to Mesa Matters that shows the expectations for student use of the technology Mesa will loan them. Please have a focused conversation with your children about our 1:1 rules so that we can be excellent partners in your child(ren)'s use of technology. It is important to know that, for now, these devices will stay at school. They will not go home. As we deliver these devices to children, your classroom teachers will also deliver lessons on digital citizenship to make sure that students understand what our expectations are for their use of technology and that we will work as a community to ensure their safety. If you have questions or concerns, please contact me at rhowatt@mesaschool.org. We will schedule a technology evening in late February or early March to answer your questions and provide important resources.
