FAQ
StudentsI have my personal device with me in class. How do I get on the Internet now? Most laptops or other personal devices will detect a wireless connection when you are near one. Most of the time your technology device will ask you if you would like to join the CMS WiFi network. When prompted, choose CMS Public from the list.
My personal device is not prompting me to choose a wireless network. Is there another way to connect?
In the settings menu of your device, there is usually an icon for a network. Go to this icon and choose CMS Public from the list or prompt your computer to look for wireless networks in range. Always consult your tool’s owner’s manual for exact directions for accessing a wireless network.
I can’t get my personal device to connect to the network. Can I get some help from someone?
It is not the responsibility of your teachers or other CSD staff to troubleshoot individual devices. Check your owner’s manual or contact your service provider for issues
concerning connectivity.
I brought my iPad to school to use in the classroom, but my teacher said I couldn’t use it in her classroom. Can I still use it?
The teacher in the classroom has the final say on procedures in the classroom. If he or she asks you not to use your technology tool, then you must follow those directions.
I need to save my work in my CMS student folder. Why can’t I access this resource?
You are on the CMS Public Network. It is not the same as the network you would normally access from a campus computer. You will not see your shared folder, so you will need to save your work in another place. Some options include a flash drive or your own device.
I need to print the document I just created. Why is there no printer listed when I try this?
Like the shared folders, printers are networked differently on the CMS campus and will not be available when you login to the CMS Public network. Some printing solutions include: saving it to a flash drive and/or printing it from home or another CMS campus computer. Keep in mind that using campus printers in the classroom or other learning spaces is at the discretion of the teacher or other building administrators.
My personal device was stolen when I brought it to school. Who should I contact about this?
Bringing your own technology tools to school can be useful, however some risks are involved as well. It is always a good idea to record the device’s serial number in case of theft. CMS is not responsible for the theft of a device, nor are we responsible for any
TechCommForm002—2/12
damage done to the device while at school. Any time a theft occurs, you should contact a school administrator to make him/her aware of the offense.
Why am I filtered on my own device? Shouldn’t I be able to see what I want to on my own tool?
Student filtering is a requirement of all public schools. The Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) requires all network access to be filtered, regardless of the device you use to access it while in a public school. The network you are using while at school belongs to CMS and will be filtered.
Am I still held accountable to the Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) I signed at the beginning of the school year even though this is my own personal device?
Yes. The Acceptable Use Policy for CMS remains in effect even when you are using your own laptop, smartphone, iPad, etc. Violating the terms of the AUP would be a student code of conduct violation.
Am I able to connect my personal device to an open network port and gain access to the internet?
No, the wired network is for district computer networks.
Will there be a penalty to my grade if I do not have my own device?
If you make a commitment to partake in the program, it is considered equipment necessary for the class.
Can my use of personal devices be revoked or terminated?
Yes, the use of personal technology devices may be revoked if you use the technology in an irresponsible manner or violate the AUP.
Does the district guarantee access to district provided internet access on personal devices?
Access to the district’s network or internet connection is not guaranteed. There may be periods of time when the district’s internet connection is not accessible. There may be certain devices that are unable to access the district's network at any time.
Am I responsible for all data costs during instructional time?
Each student is responsible for his or her own data cost incurred during all time on school property.
Can I use my personal technology device to record student or teacher’s conversation or instruction during class?
The recording of instruction or conversation during class is at the discretion of the
student and teacher. The person who is being recorded must be made aware of the fact that he or she is being recorded and express permission to be recorded.

Parents
My child is bringing his or her wireless device to school for instructional purposes. Will he or she have access to things he or she normally does with district equipment?
No, he or she will not have access to network resources such as my documents, Microsoft Office, etc. Your son/daughter will have access to any of the web based software schools currently use (databases, library search tools, etc.). Apps may run differently on different devices for varying reasons. You should consult your owner’s manual for Apps limitations (Ex. iPads cannot run software requiring Flash Player).
As a parent, am I required to add additional software (virus protection, filter, tracking device, etc.) to my child’s technology tool?
No. Currently we are not requiring any additional software for school use. Virus
protection is always advised, but not required to participate in the BYOT program. While on the CSD Public network, internet activity is filtered.
If my child’s laptop is stolen or damaged, what recourse can I take?
The district is not responsible for lost, damaged, or stolen devices and cannot conduct searches for devices reported as missing. You may choose for your son/daughter to not accept the terms of use required for bringing a personal device to school. Your
son/daughter would still need to submit the CSD Acceptable Use, Media Release and
Internet Safety Procedures to use district owned devices. The school will provide
whenever possible a district owned device for use within the class period as needed for instructional purposes at the discretion of the teacher. The district is not responsible for any damage or theft of student owned equipment. Keeping track of the device’s serial number, model and type at home is suggested. Theft or vandalism of any kind should be reported immediately to a building administrator, so he/she can take the appropriate steps.
What are the building/classroom rules for using student owned devices including phones?
Teachers make the final decision for any tools used in the classroom; student owned equipment would be no different. It will be up to the individual teachers to communicate their expectations to parents and students.
Will my child have access to communication tools like email or message boards while on the public network?
Students are not granted access to personal emails or message boards per district policy.
Where can I see the Acceptable Use Policy for Technology?
The Acceptable Use Policy can be viewed on the district’s webpage. There is also a link available on the teachers’ websites that are participating in the BYOT program.

Who is responsible for content that is accessed via a student’s mobile device?
Students are responsible for all content they access and must follow the same rules set forth in the AUP regardless if they are using a district computer or their personal
devices. Content accessed over the district wireless network is filtered, but students making use of their own personal data plans will have access to unfiltered content. Parents should be sure to discuss the expectations with the students regarding accessing appropriate school related content with their personal devices.
