This includes, but is not limited to, laptops, Chromebooks, tablets, chargers, cases, hotspots, headphones, accessories, school email, student accounts, internet access, software, apps, and other WHLIS technology resources. Individual Student Assignment At the beginning of the 2026–2027 school year, WHLIS technology will be assigned to an individual student. The assigned student is responsible for using and caring for that technology every day until it is returned to the school. Educational Use Only WHLIS technology is for school-related learning and communication. Students may only use school technology for educational purposes and in ways that follow school rules and staff directions. Student and Family Responsibility The student and parent or guardian understand that the assigned technology is the responsibility of the student and family while it is issued to the student. This includes keeping the device and all accessories safe, charged, clean, and in good working condition. Damage, Loss, or Theft Any damage to WHLIS technology while it is assigned to a student is the responsibility of the student and family. The student or family may be responsible for the cost of repair or replacement if technology is damaged, lost, stolen, broken, defaced, or not returned. This includes damage caused by misuse, rough handling, food or liquids, pets, unauthorized repairs, or negligence. Normal wear and tear or verified equipment malfunction may be handled at the school’s discretion. Loss, theft, or damage must be reported to the school immediately. No Sharing or Unauthorized Use Technology assigned to a student is for that student only and may not be loaned to friends, siblings, or other individuals. Parents or guardians may assist the student with schoolwork but should not use the device for personal purposes. Safe and Respectful Use Students must use technology in ways that are safe, respectful, and appropriate for school. This includes not engaging in bullying, harassment, threats, or harmful messages; not using obscene, vulgar, or hateful language or images; not attempting to access, search for, share, or store inappropriate content; not cheating, plagiarizing, or copying work from the internet without giving proper credit; and not using another person’s account, password, or files.
