CURRICULUM
EXPECTATIONS
USD 475 Vision
Statement
Building a future in the
global community for our
students through STEM
infused learning whenever,
wherever!
Grant
Information
USD 475 received a Department of Defense
Education Activity (DoDEA) Grant for the next
3 school years to implement STEM (Science,
Technology, Engineering and Mathematics)
learning in our schools. The Braiding STEM
Early initiative goal is to increase student
achievement in mathematics and science K-5.
The laptops will help support that goal by
enhancing project based STEM activities such
as conducting scientific experiments,
introducing computer programing modules
through LEGO, mathematics software for
digital instruction, and other initiatives.
Device Usage
The laptop is an educational
tool not intended for gaming,
social networking or high-end
computing, and all users will be
expected to follow the
district’s acceptable use policy
as well as all other state and
federal laws, board policies
and school rules.
Curriculum Expectations
The laptop will allow student access to
educational applications, web-based
tools and many other useful sites.
Schools are required to use the devices
for:
• GO Math supplemental math
program
• Integrated technology projects each
quarter
• Science and other STEM lessons
• State Assessments
DEVICE
INFORMATION
Device Information
General Device Information
• Although students will be issued a
device for the duration of each
school year, USD 475 retains full
and complete ownership of the
device.
• Students will receive the device, a
power adaptor, and a protective
case.
• Devices are being distributed to
students no later than September
1st.
Returning the device
• The device must be turned in at the end of
each school year unless the student moves
prior to the end of the school year. Failure
to turn in the device to the media center
on the last day of attendance will result in
the student being charged the full ($499)
replacement cost. Additionally, the
district will file a report of stolen property
with the local law enforcement agency.
• Even if you transfer to a different school in
USD 475, the device still has to be turned
in at FRE. We will send the device to the
new school in the district.
Privacy
• The school may, without prior notice
or consent, log, supervise, access, view,
monitor, and record use of student
devices at any time for any reason
related to the operation of the school.
By using the device, the student agrees
to such access, monitoring, and
recording of use.
• Teachers, school administrators, and
the technology department staff may
use monitoring software that allows
them to view the screens and activity
on student devices.
Damaged, Stolen, & Lost Devices
• If the device is damaged, the student will turn
the device into the teacher for repair. The
district will charge for the entire repair or
replacement cost of the device and/or
peripherals if damage or loss occurs due to the
student’s and/or parent’s/guardian’s
intentional acts or as the result of negligence
in handling the device. The student will
receive a loaner device while the device is
being repaired if one is available. Loaner
devices are not allowed to be taken home.
• If a device is stolen, a report of stolen
property will be made with the local law
enforcement agency.
• If a device is lost, the student will be expected
to replace it.
