Information and Communication Technology

Havergal is wireless throughout the campus and students in Grades 7 to 12 will be required to bring personal laptops or other mobile devices into the school to gain Internet access and complete assigned work in class. Personal laptops or other mobile devices will be used in the classroom at the discretion of the individual teacher. Students are asked not to text and walk and to be thoughtful about their use of mobile technologies. Students and one of their parents/guardians are required to read and agree to comply with the Acceptable Use of Technology Agreement and abide by the Havergal College Code of Conduct in order to have network access at Havergal. Student Equipment Loan Agreement Havergal students have the ability to borrow equipment and accessories from the Havergal Information Technology Department. A loan agreement signed by the students is required. In signing a loan agreement, students accept the following conditions outlined below. Parents are asked to review with their daughter the responsibilities associated with the loan of equipment. Conditions of Use • Equipment and all accessories (e.g., laptop, tablets, camera, etc.) are the property of Havergal College. • Equipment must be returned to Havergal College at the end of the specified loan period. • In accepting this equipment, the student is agreeing that she will use it regularly. If this is not the case, the student must return it so that it can be assigned to another student. • In the event of loss, theft or damage that is not covered under warranty, the school reserves the right to charge to the student’s account $500 (or less if applicable) towards repair costs or the purchase of equivalent replacement equipment. • The student or other family members may not copy, migrate or remove school-licensed software for use on other computers/ devices. New software cannot be installed on this equipment unless it is approved by the Havergal Information Technology Department. • The student and her parents are required to have read, understood and support the Agreement – Acceptable Use of Technology for Parents and Students. • The student may contact the Havergal College Service Desk when experiencing technical problems. • File backup is the student’s responsibility. Please ensure that the student is familiar with the back-up process currently used at Havergal College and that files are backed-up regularly. Students are only allowed to back up schoolwork-related documents to the Havergal network. Personal pictures, movies and music are not allowed to be backed up on the network. • Particular attention and consideration must be paid to the security and confidentiality of any sensitive information stored on portable devices such as laptops and tablets. The consequences of that information being lost or falling into unauthorized hands may be severe. Wherever possible, any supplied device locks, either physical and/or logical passwords, must be used to secure these assets.
