Technology provides students with access to people and material from all over the world. We believe that information and interaction promotes educational excellence and is consistent with the goals of the district. The Internet does include some material that is not appropriate for students. Efforts are taken to protect students from inappropriate materials, but it is impossible to completely protect students from material that is not consistent with FUSD goals. Students will use the Internet within an educational activity, such as performing research, developing projects, and disseminating information.
You and your student have signed the Student Acceptable Use Agreement and a One to One Distribution Agreement at the beginning of the school year, which lists the acceptable uses of any FUSD owned equipment. Listed here are some of the expectations and responsibilities. A copy of the agreement may be obtained by clicking on this link: Student Acceptable Use Agreement (English, Spanish) , or by visiting , then selecting the “For Students” tile. The SAUA can be found under the “FUSD Student Resources” section.
Approved software and Microsoft applications can be accessed through the FUSD Software Center and FUSD APP Store which are located on the student laptop.

District technicians will not service or repair any personal computer equipment. No software that is deemed by the Technology Department to be for personal use will be supported under any circumstances.
If such software is installed on District equipment, a technician may remove it from the computer. Any damage caused by use on the FUSD network is the responsibility of the owner.
The student and guardian are responsible for the security of the equipment when it is not being used. FUSD does not guarantee the privacy or security of any item stored on or transmitted by any privately owned computing devices. Any damage to the equipment is the responsibility of the individual.
