Technology at Moorlands

The Northshore school District runs a 1:1 policy for student devices. Every Moorlands student has access to a computing device. 2nd - 5th graders are assigned a Chromebook set (device, charger and protective carry bag) that they transport between school and home. Kindergarten and 1st graders use iPads that are stored in a class cart. Students use these devices for research and learning in math, science, social studies, and language arts, as well as digital citizenship, keyboarding skills and coding.

Responsible Use

Students are responsible for the general care of the device they have been issued by the school district.

Responsible Use Procedure (RUP) applies to staff, students and guests who utilize:

District-owned technology regardless of location and network.
Non-District technology that is connected to the NSD network, or using non-district networks while on school property.

Chromebook Care

Please review Northshore School District's General Chromebook Care document to understand how to support your student in taking care of their Chromebook.

Students are responsible for the general care of the Chromebook they have been issued by the school district.

Students with Chromebooks that are broken or fail to work properly must contact the School Technology Specialist (tfournier@nsd.org) or submit a support ticket at http://go.nsd.org/studenttechhelp as soon as possible so that they can be taken care of properly.

Device Protection Plan

The DPP program protects the device (Chromebook, Macbook, or iPad) loaned to your student against accidental damage for the school year. This program does NOT cover damage resulting from misuse or loss of the device. We expect all students to properly use their device and to secure it when it is not being used. If the device is used improperly or is not secured while the student is not using it, families will be expected to pay the full cost of replacement or repair.

The standard payment to enroll in the NSD Student Device Protection Plan is $25 per year; free for students who have qualified for free or reduced-price meals and who have provided consent to share their status for fee waivers. No refunds will be given once enrolled in this program. If the assigned device is accidentally damaged, families will be charged according to the following deductible schedule:

●   1st Incident; $0
●   2nd Incident; 50% reduction of cost of repair
●   3rd Incident; Full cost of repair

Please see the district's site for more information on the Device Protection Plan. LINK
