Student Technology Use
Coeur d’Alene Public Schools recognizes technology as a catalyst for teaching and learning, aligned with our vision: "Technology is integral to teaching, learning, and ensuring student success in the 21st century." Our technology plan guides our initiatives as we strive to improve access for staff and students.
A signed Student Technology Use Agreement is required to access digital curricula, hardware, and network resources. This document establishes expectations for digital citizenship, data protection, and equipment care to maintain a secure learning environment.
Please note that signing this agreement is necessary for full access to our technology resources.
Digital Citizenship
A Digital Citizen is defined as someone using information technology and the Internet to engage in society, government and economic opportunities.
Digital Citizenship in Coeur d'Alene Public Schools
We are committed to helping students become more informed about participating responsibly in the digital era in which we now live. Part of that commitment is providing resources to students and families about becoming responsible digital citizens.
Linked on this page is the Family Toolbox created by Common Sense Media that will help parents have authentic conversations about their digital lives and how to be responsible as a young user of digital information and online communities as well as our Online Safety Hub overview of social media use.
Click on the icons below to access the toolbox as well as many of the other valuable resources for young students and families.
