Technology Tips

EastView students are blessed to have 1:1 devices meaning every student has a computer available to them each day. Students in grades 3-5 are allowed to bring computers back and forth from school and home. Students in k-2 will keep their computers are home.

 

Remember that students are responsible for treating these items with care. In grades k-2, we keep the computers at school. In the event, we were to be switched to virtual learning we would send home the computers for that period. Students in grades 3-5, are allowed to take home computers each night.

 

Reminders for all:

Carry computers with two hands and do not carry them by the lid.

Keep all food and drink away from computer.

Restart your computer often.

Charge your computers when you are finished for the day.

Be responsilbe citizens and only visit safe school approved sites.

 

Grades 3-5

Use your computer bag and remember to return to school each day.

Charge your computer each night.

Keep charger in computer bag just in case.

 

Canvas:

All teachers and students in grades k-5 will be using Canvas this year. Canvas is a Learning Management System and will be our platform for classroom assignments. If your child was a virtual student last year, then he/she is already familiar. Teachers will need a few weeks to get all students familiar and ready to use but we will use this tool often throughout the week. Our goal is to always be prepared in the event of distance learning implementation.

 

Computer Insurance: Insurance is available for $30 to cover any damages. This insurance is optional but much cheaper than paying to replace the entire computer. Checks can be made payable to EastView Elementary and please note the child's name and write computer insurance in the message.

 

WHAT TO DO IF YOU HAVE ANY COMPUTER ISSUES??

What do I do if I am having technology problems?

 

If students are having a problem with their computers (if the display is broken, you can skip step 1 and 2. Send an email to [email protected] on that student’s behalf), have them do the following:

  1. Restart.
  2. If their computer will not connect to the wireless network, please send an email to [email protected] on their behalf possibly from your phone or personal computer.
