Technology Overview

When a student’s iPad, Chromebook or Accessories are lost, stolen, or willfully damaged, the consequences will be applied in cases of:

  • Broken screens caused by intentionally throwing or dropping the device;
  • Swinging a bag or backpack with a device inside; stepping on the device;
  • Intentionally spilling a liquid on the device; hitting another person or object with the device;
  • Damage caused to a device that was not in the district-issued case;
  • Tampering with the internal components of the iPad;
  • Making unauthorized modifications to the operating system, known as hacking the device;
  • Loss or damage to the Lightning-to-USB cable, 12W power adapter, and case.

The Chromebooks will give the students an opportunity to utilize digital curriculum at school, at home, and during Distance Learning.

End of School Year Non-Returns

As a consequence, for failure to return technology and accessories, TJS cannot deny access to diplomas or course credit.  They may limit participation in end of year activities such as:

  • Field Day/School picnic
  • Field trip celebration

Security Policies for Lost / Stolen / Damaged Devices

  • When a technology has been recorded as “Lost” or “Stolen” a secure management profile is installed rendering the device as useless for resale or personal use.
  • After a TJS device has been “wiped”, the screen will display “Hello” and look like it is able to be sold or kept for personal use.
  • During the setup process, the TJS management profile will be activated and ask for Active Directory credentials. Device setup cannot continue unless active and valid credentials are provided.
  • If the device has been recorded as lost/stolen/damaged in Fuji/Destiny and valid Active Directory credentials are provided, the iPad will go into “Lost” mode and be rendered useless.
  • Devices and accessories are not able to be sold or repurposed for personal use.
