Student Use of District Technology

Greeley-Evans School District 6 provides a Chromebook and district email account for every student. District Six also utilizes the GoGuardian service to monitor and enhance the school’s ability to screen inappropriate content and monitor student and staff online activities. Having an email account also allows students to email teachers questions and receive classroom updates. Depending on the teacher, students may also be able to turn in assignments using email.

All students will receive training on appropriate use of technology before teachers provide them with their usernames and passwords. Training includes dealing with potential bullying, handling email from unknown senders, general email etiquette, and informing students that email messages leave a permanent digital record. Parents are encouraged to use CommonSense Media resources to learn how to support their children as they navigate the online world. Resources can be accessed by visiting the following website (http://www.commonsensemedia.org).

Acceptable use of email falls under the Board of Education policy governing student use of the Internet and electronic communications. Policy JS states that no student shall access, create, transmit, retransmit, or forward material or information:
