Salem Public Schools is committed to providing students with independent and engaging learning experiences from preschool through graduation. One of the ways we achieve this is through the use of technology in instruction. All SPS students are provided with an Internet connected device which they can utilize to access various forms of digital curriculum and resources provided by the district as well as assignments posted to our Learning Management Systems by their teachers. Below is an outline of Salem Public Schools one-to-one device and technology guidelines.
All students are assigned a Google account with no email access.
In the event of a malfunctioning technology (hardware or software) teachers should submit a helpdesk request located in their Classlink and a Technical Support Analyst will respond as soon as possible.
Each homeroom contains a cart which charges and securely stores devices overnight.
Passwords for Google accounts are “student+LASID” (e.g. student202020) and should not be changed.
Chargers are never removed from carts.
Chromebooks never go home with students.
The responsibility of keeping the Chromebooks secured and accounted for is that of the teacher in the homeroom which the devices are assigned.
At the end of each school year, the IT Department inventories, cleans and replaces Chromebooks as needed.
