New Laptop Contract - REQUIRED for laptop pickup
Every student will need to have the form below filled out and signed by the student and a parent before a laptop will be issued. In order to receive your laptop, this form must be turned in at the time you pick up your laptop. No laptop will be issued to a student without this completed form.
JOPLIN SCHOOLS LAPTOP CHECKOUT CONTRACT
Laptop Use Rules
● The laptop is an educational tool and should be used in that capacity only.
● The student is responsible for the laptop at all times. The school is not responsible
for laptops left in classrooms, hallways, lockers, as well as non-school properties.
The laptop should not be used to – COPY, DOWNLOAD, UPLOAD, or SHARE
COPYRIGHT MATERIALS without legal permission. This includes reproduction of
music files (CDs) and software applications.
● YOU are the only authorized user of your assigned laptop. Never share or swap
laptops with another student. Keep your password CONFIDENTIAL.
● Do not EAT or DRINK near your laptop.
● Avoid touching the screen. When cleaning is necessary, use a soft cloth.
● Do not mark the laptop in any way with markers, stickers, etc.
● Do not remove district labels or asset tags.
● Do not insert foreign objects into openings of the laptop.
● Laptops must come to school fully charged with power cords daily.
● Laptops are school property. If you stop attending Joplin Schools and do not return
your laptop, you will be in possession of stolen property and charges will be filed.
Damage, loss, or a stolen laptop does not ensure immediate replacement of laptop
to the student. There are desktop computers in every classroom that can be used by
students with no laptop, and homework accommodations will be made for these
students as well. The student will refer to the JHS Handbook for policies on lost,
stolen, or laptops lost in fire.
Internet Use Rules
● Students agree to adhere to the Joplin Schools Laptop, Internet, and Home use
policies as defined in this contract and the Joplin Schools AUP.
● Students must use the Internet in a way that complies with the District Code of
Conduct.
CAUTION: Inappropriate pictures or videos on your laptop will result in more than
just school disciplinary procedures. BY LAW any nude, partially nude, or
pornographic poses found on school-issued laptops are required to be confiscated
by local authorities. Worse case scenarios can result in charges filed against
students.
● The laptop issued to you is district property and all content (software, email, Internet
usage) will be monitored AT ALL TIMES. Content found that is related to illegal or
unethical activities will be reported to the authorities.
● Do not use the network in any way that would disrupt its use by other users.
● Do not use or access any other person’s account for any reason.
● School staff has the right at any time to spot check student laptops.
Home Use Rules
● Students are responsible for the care of their laptops.
● Each laptop MUST be secured in a district provided laptop sleeve or backpack while
in transit.● Do not leave laptops in vehicles. Computers cannot tolerate extremes in temperature.
● Parents/guardians are encouraged to be ‘nosy’ and interact with their students about
his/her work on the laptop.
● Laptops must be recharged before returning to school.
● Laptops with power cords must be carried to school every day in your laptop sleeve
or backpack.
● If a laptop is stolen, the police and the help desk (417.625.5200 ext 2010) must be
notified immediately in order for the laptop to be traced and disabled. A police report
MUST be filed. If you fail to file a police report, you are responsible for the full value
of the computer ($989). The help desk will follow up with the school SRO or with the
City of Joplin, Missouri police department. A tracing program is embedded into the
logic board that allows all lost or stolen student laptops to be quickly located.
● If a laptop is lost, the help desk (417.625.5200 ext 2010) must be notified as soon as
possible.
Joplin Schools is once again waiving the $35 usage fee. If a student loses (or has
stolen) his/her power adapter, one can be purchased for $20. If a student loses (or
has stolen) his/her laptop sleeve/backpack, one can be purchased for $20. When
damage to a laptop occurs, the components most often needing repairs are the top
case, the LCD (display), and the internal hard drive. If one of these components must
be replaced, the student is responsible for that component at a cost to the student of
$60. This is no more than the cost of a lost textbook. If the student does not have
the money to pay for the damaged component, then hours of service to the school
may be assigned in order for the student to regain possession of his/her laptop.
● Joplin Schools does not provide home access to the Internet. There are multiple
places in Joplin that offer Internet access, and areas outside of the modular
classrooms located on various school grounds also offer Internet capability.
● Parents/guardians are responsible for monitoring his/her child’s use of the laptop at
home. School policies continue to apply when using the computer online at home.
