Policies and Procedures

Direct communication with parents and students must only be carried out using approved District tools (see below). Other Web-based tools may be used for student projects, but student identities must remain anonymous and all content must be approved and monitored by the teacher. Please review and follow the Technology Use and Privacy Guidelines

Whenever student photos are posted on any of the approved outlets, they MUST have permission documented in Synergy -- even if the content is shared with private or unlisted settings.  

Please reference our District-Approved Sites, Apps, & Extensions List before using anything with students.
