Acceptable Use of Technology Agreement

Students

I have read and will abide by the iPad Acceptable Use Agreement of the Bend-La Pine Schools. I further
understand that should I commit any violation my access privileges may be revoked and school disciplinary
action and/or appropriate legal actions may be taken.

Parents/Guardians

I have read and agree to assist my child in understanding and abiding by the iPad Acceptable Use
Agreement of the Bend-La Pine Schools. In order to continue providing your student with the most
effective web-based tools and applications for learning, Bend - La Pine School District needs to abide by
the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Our district utilizes several computer software
applications and web-based services, operated not by this school, but by third parties. These webbased
services include Oregon K-12 Apps for Education and similar educational programs. In order for
our students to use these programs and services, certain personally identifiable information, generally
the student’s name and email address, must be provided to the web site operator. Under this federal
law, these web sites must provide parental notification, and obtain parental consent before collecting
personal information from children under the age of 13. I understand that access to district technology
equipment and its entire system of electronic communication is designed for educational purposes
and I give permission for my child to use Oregon K-12 Apps for Education and to the operators of
any additional online educational programs and services which our schools may add during the
upcoming academic year. I also recognize some materials on the Internet may be controversial and
objectionable and that, while every attempt will be made to block inappropriate sites, it is impossible
for the Bend La-Pine School District to restrict access to all controversial and objectionable materials. I
will not hold the Bend-La Pine Schools responsible for the accuracy or quality of any materials acquired
or viewed on its system by my child. I understand that improper or inappropriate use of technology
equipment and the district system by my child may result in revocation of his/her technology privileges
and the imposition of school discipline and appropriate legal actions. I accept all financial and legal
liabilities that may result from my child’s use of the Bend La-Pine School District equipment and
technology system. I release the Bend La-Pine School District, its officers, employees, agents,
representatives, and all organizations and individuals related to the Bend-La Pine Schools’ technology
system from any and all liability or damages that may result from my child’s use of the district’s
equipment and electronic communication system. I specifically agree to indemnify and hold the Bend
La-Pine School District, its officers, employees, agents, and representatives harmless for any actions,
claims, costs, damages, or losses, including, but not limited to, attorney’s fees incurred by the Bend La-
Pine School District relating to or arising out of my child’s use of such equipment and system.

The student below has been issued an iPad in support of his/her education in the Bend La-Pine School

Acceptable Use Agreement fully applies to the use of this equipment both on and off school premises. iPad
settings have been adjusted for appropriate school use. These settings must not be altered, deleted or
circumvented in any way. The district has provided digital content and resources for student use that must
remain installed on the iPad and be easily accessible at all times. No unauthorized apps may be added to the
iPad, whether for purchase or free. The student and parent/guardian agree to be responsible for the
