Welcome to Raising Brain! We want to make sure everyone stays safe and has fun while using technology at our school. Here are some important rules and guidelines to follow when using the internet, Chromebooks, and digital cameras:
​
Internet Use:
​
-
Stay Safe: Only visit websites that your teacher or guardian says are okay. If you see something that makes you feel uncomfortable, tell a teacher right away. Additionally, no YouTube or any other social media sites are allowed on school Chromebooks or personal devices during school hours. Ebooks/Audiobooks/art apps are welcome and encouraged.
-
Be Kind: Treat others online with kindness and respect, just like you would in person. Don’t say or do anything online that you wouldn’t do face-to-face.
-
Protect Personal Information: Don’t share personal information like your full name, address, phone number, or passwords with anyone online. Keep this information private and safe. Please take a moment to read our Internet Safety Rules.
​
Chromebook Use:
​
-
Handle with Care: Chromebooks are fragile, so be gentle when using them. Make sure to carry them with two hands and avoid dropping them.
-
Use for School Work: Chromebooks are for schoolwork and learning activities only. Don’t download games, apps, or visit non-educational websites without permission.
-
Report Problems: If your Chromebook isn’t working properly or if you accidentally damage it, tell a teacher or staff member right away so they can help fix it.
​
Digital Camera Use:
​
-
Ask for Permission: Always ask a teacher or staff member for permission before using a digital camera. They will help you use it safely and responsibly.
-
Respect Privacy: Only take pictures of people who give you permission. Don’t take pictures of anyone without asking first, and never take pictures in places where you’re not allowed to.
-
Share Responsibly: If you take pictures or videos, make sure to use them appropriately. Don’t share them with anyone without permission, and always respect people’s privacy.
