Students and parents/guardians participating in the DYRSD iPad initiative must adhere to the DYRSD program procedures, Student Code of Conduct, Student Handbook, Technology Responsible Use Agreement, School Committee Policies, and federal and state laws.
 
The technology device covered by this agreement is an iPad. One iPad and case are being loaned to the student. It is the student’s responsibility to care for the equipment on a daily basis and ensure that it is safely stored in the classroom cart. Any technical or mechanical issues with the iPad must be reported to the school for evaluation and repair.
 
This equipment is, and at all-times remains, the property of the Dennis-Yarmouth Regional School District and is subject to random inspection. The equipment will be returned to the District during the final week of school or sooner if a student withdraws from the District.
