Taradale Intermediate “Bring Your Own Device” (B.Y.O.D.)
Responsible Use Guidelines

Purpose

Taradale Intermediate School uses digital technology as one way of enhancing the teaching of
skills, knowledge and behaviours learners will need as responsible citizens in the global
community. Learners learn collaboration, communication, creativity and critical thinking in a
variety of ways throughout the school day. In an effort to encourage and develop these
skills, we allow 2 personal devices on our TIS BYOD Student network for learners who follow the
responsibilities stated in the Digital License and the guidelines regarding BYOD.

An important component of BYOD at our school will be education about appropriate online
behaviors. We continuously review cyber-safety guidelines with learners throughout the year
and outline what is expected of them as a digital citizen at our school. Learners will be
expected to comply with all class and school rules while using personal devices.

GUIDELINES
Anyone utilizing devices must adhere to the schools Digital License. This includes the Cyber
safety Use Agreement, all Board Policies and adherence to the NZ Copyright Act.

Each teacher will monitor the use of personal devices in the classroom.

Approved devices must be in silent mode while at school, unless allowed by a teacher.
Headphones need to be at school daily.
•   Devices may not be used for non-instructional purposes (such as making personal phone
    calls, social media and text messaging) during school time.
•   Learners may not use devices to record, transmit, or post photographic images or video of
    anyone at school during school hours or during school activities, unless allowed by a
    teacher and with permission of the other learners.
•   Devices may only be used to access internet sites which are relevant to the classroom
    curriculum.
•   Sharing of personal devices with another child is at the discretion of the parent and child
    involved. Please have this discussion with your child.
•   All devices must be clearly named so they can be identified. Secure passwords on devices
    that have this function must be used.

Learners and Parents/Caregivers acknowledge that:
•    The school’s network filters will be applied to a device’s connection to the internet and
     any attempt to bypass the network filters is prohibited.
•    Devices must have up-to-date anti-virus software installed – this includes mobile devices.
     This is available through Norton or AVG.
•    Taradale Intermediate School will reserve the right to collect in any device that is
     suspected of causing technology problems or was the source of a virus infection. Parents
     will be asked to collect the device and remedy the problem.
•    When suspected misuse of a device has occurred (eg access to inappropriate sites,
     inappropriate use of social media, violation of others privacy), learners will be asked to
     surrender the device to senior management and parents will be contacted to collect the
     device.
•    Printing from personal devices may be possible at school via cloud apps and school based
     technology. Printing directly from the device will not be possible.
•    Personal devices must be charged prior to school and run on battery power while at
     school.

Lost, Stolen, or Damaged Devices
Learners are responsible for their own device and should use it responsibly and appropriately.
Taradale Intermediate takes no responsibility for stolen, lost, or damaged devices, including lost
or corrupted data on those devices.

Teachers have a lockable storage space in their rooms, but learners have the final responsibility
for ensuring their personal devices are locked away.
Please check with your homeowner’s policy regarding coverage of personal electronic
devices, as many insurance policies can cover loss or damage.

Usage Charges

account that might be incurred during approved school-related use.

Network Considerations
All learners will use the TIS BYOD Student wireless network to access the internet. TIS does not
guarantee connectivity or the quality of the connection with personal devices.

We are not responsible for maintaining or troubleshooting learner BYOD devices.

AGREEMENT
This signed agreement is to be returned to your child’s teacher who will keep it on file.
Devices will not be permitted at school until this agreement has been returned.

    Declare medical conditions that could affect participation in the event.

    Follow the rules and instructions of staff and other supervisors at the event.
    Wear uniform correctly and with pride.
    Use appropriate language and be a supportive participant/spectator.

BE A LEARNER – HE ĀKONGA
    Accept the rules set by the school for the event, even if they are different from what is
     accepted at home.

I understand that my parents / caregivers will be contacted and I may be sent back to school
or home if:
    My actions are considered unacceptable by staff;
    I breach the schools positive behaviour for learning code;
    My actions put me or others in any danger.
