2. Section III: Definitions
Section I: Rationale
The goal for both Lake County Schools and the Sawgrass Bay Elementary School’s Bring Your Own Device program is to create a technology-rich 21st century learning environment for our students. Through the BYOD program at Sawgrass Bay, students will be able to apply and develop integral 21st century skills, including written and oral communication, collaboration, problem-solving, critical thinking and digital literacy.
Section II: Overview
Sawgrass Bay Elementary School will permit 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students to bring devices for instructional purposes. Please note that the use of Smart Watches will not be permitted. The use of these personal electronic devices is a privilege, and students must adhere to all district policies and school procedures, including those listed below. Any violation of the following policies will result in the revocation of the student’s BYOD privileges, along with the consequences mentioned below. Please be sure to initial all sections of the Student & Family Agreement. This page only needs to be turned in to your child’s homeroom teacher.
Section III: Definitions

By clicking “Accept” at login, you are agreeing to all of the above conditions and policies as they pertain to non-district devices.
Section V: Bring Your Own Technology Policy and Procedures
Guidelines
Students are responsible for the security of their own devices. There will always be a risk of theft when at school. It is recommended that skins or other custom touches are used to distinguish your device from others.
Technology personnel will not be available to investigate or troubleshoot students’ laptop or tablet issues.
Lake County Schools is not responsible for content downloaded or installed on a student’s personal device.

3. Inappropriate Language
Restrictions against inappropriate language apply to public messages, private messages, and material created for assignments or to be posted on web pages.
Students will not use obscene, profane, lewd, vulgar, rude, inflammatory, threatening, or disrespectful language.
Students will not engage in personal attacks, including prejudicial or discriminatory attacks.
Students will not harass another person. Harassment is persistently acting in a manner that distresses or annoys another person.
Students will not knowingly or recklessly post false or defamatory information about a person or organization.
Internet
Only the internet gateway provided by the school may be accessed while on campus. Personal internet connective devices such as but not limited to cell phones (3G/4G) and cell network adapters are not permitted to be used to access outside internet sources at any time.
Plagiarism and Copyright Infringement
Students will not plagiarize works that are found on the Internet or on the computers at school or home. Plagiarism is taking the ideas or writings of others and presenting them as if they were their own.
Students will respect the rights of copyright owners. Copyright infringement occurs when one inappropriately reproduces a work that is protected by a copyright. If a work contains language that specifies appropriate use of that work, the student will follow the expressed requirements.
Respecting Resource Limits
Students will use the technology at school only for educational activities.
Students will not post chain letters or engage in “spamming.” Spamming is sending an unnecessary message to a large number of people.
Students will not utilize instant messaging/iMessage type of programs or to communicate during school hours.
Security and Damages
Responsibility to keep the device secure rests with the individual owner. SBE is not liable for any device stolen or damaged on campus. It is recommended that skins (decals) and other custom touches are used to physically identify your device from others. Additionally, protective cases for technology are strongly recommended.
