The student “RUA” (Responsible Technology Use Agreement for LPS Students) is signed by each LPS student prior to using technology devices.
At the elementary level, the student RUA is a document used by teachers to frame proactive classroom discussions that instruct students about appropriate behaviors when using devices and network services in the classroom setting, as opposed to behaviors they may express when using devices in a personal (home) setting. It offers alignment with PBiS protocols as a Tier-1 Universal Support for setting building expectations around the use of devices in all classroom settings across the building. It also assists with student ownership of personal behaviors and the consequences that can arise from them. The signature of the student on the RUA serves as a behavioral contract with the teacher, school, and district and stays in the classroom.
At the secondary level, the student RUA is a required signature during Chromebook checkout. It is followed up with information provided in classrooms regarding appropriate behaviors when using devices, and building expectations.
