Procedures and Information for Students and Parents
The purpose of the Manhattan-Ogden USD 383 Information Technology’s 1-to-1 iPad Program is to
create a collaborative learning environment for all learners that is consistent with advances in
technology and facilitates resource sharing, critical thinking, innovation, research, creativity,
communication, collaboration, increased productivity and mobile learning. It is the expectation of the
board that district staff and community members will all play a role in the development of these
effective and high quality educational experiences.
To extend the Strategic Framework and the Objectives and Strategies in that plan, Manhattan-Ogden
USD 383 is supplying all students with an iPad tablet. The iPad will allow student access to educational
applications, web-based tools and many other useful sites. The iPad is an educational tool not
intended for gaming, social networking or high-end computing, and all users will be expected to follow
the district’s Code of Conduct as well as all other state and federal laws, board policies and
administrative procedures.
This document provides students with information about the general use of technology, ownership of
the iPad, rights and responsibilities for possession of the device, care of the iPad, its educational use
and good digital citizenship.

2USE AND OWNERSHIP
What is an iPad?
An iPad is a personal computing device that runs iPad iOS as its operating system. iPads are most
effective while connected to the Internet and support apps like Microsoft Office that reside on the
Web as well as on the tablet.
Ownership of the iPad
Although students will be issued an iPad for the duration of each school year, Manhattan-Ogden USD
383 retains ownership of the iPad.
Receiving the iPad
Every student in grades 4-12 will be issued an iPad, power adaptor/cable and protective case for
educational use in school and at home (students K – 3 will all have a device available for use at school).
The iPad and peripherals will be distributed within the first two weeks of each school year.
All parents/guardians are required to read and acknowledge understanding the Manhattan-Ogden USD
383 Code of Conduct before an iPad will be issued to their student.
Disciplinary iPad Actions
To address any inappropriate use of technology of Manhattan-Ogden USD 383, students who have
violated the Code of Conduct, School/District handbooks, policy or any other provisions included in the
iPad Program Handbook may have restricted use of the iPad as determined by the school administrator or
their designee. This can range from having the iPad secured during the evening then checked out for
daily use during school to having the system locked for certain time periods to even having the iPad
being taken from the student. The school leadership in conjunction with the Information Technology
department will determine the appropriate measures to be taken when all information is collected.
Returning the iPad
iPad, along with all peripherals and accessories, will be collected at the end of each school year (a
process will be organized with buildings on the return of these devices for summer collection). Failure
to turn in an iPad (as well as charger, cable and case) will result in the student being charged for those
missing items up to the full replacement cost of the device ($390). Additionally, if the device has been
identified as lost or stolen, a report of stolen property with the local law enforcement agency will be
filed by the district.
Any student who transfers, withdraws, graduates or is expelled will be required to return their iPad,
and peripherals (including cable, charger and case) upon termination or completion of enrollment.
Failure to turn in the iPad to the school office on the last day of attendance will result in the student
being charged the full replacement cost of the device. Unpaid fines and fees of students leaving
Manhattan-Ogden USD 383 may be turned over to a collection agency. Additionally, a report of stolen
property with the local law enforcement agency will be filed by the district.
3Care of the iPad
Students are responsible for the general care of the iPad they have been issued by the school. iPads
that are broken or fail to work properly must be reported to the library media specialist, Lead Building
Technician or Information Technology Helpdesk (785-587-2077) soon as possible so that the issue can
be addressed. The iPad should NEVER be taken to an outside computer service for any type of repairs
or maintenance.

1419. Will there be restrictions on the iPad?
There is a filter on the device so that no matter where the students are when they access the Internet, they are
accessing a filtered environment. Students will not be allowed to download other apps beyond those available in the
Mobile Device Manager or delete apps on the device unless directed by teachers, building administration, district
administration or their designee.
20. Does the district plan on blocking certain websites such as NetFlix?
The limiting of access to certain websites and services is an ongoing process that involves several variables. We
welcome parent input with this process. If there are other sites that are deemed inappropriate that have made it
through the filter, please notify a Manhattan-Ogden Information Technology staff member at the Information
Technology HelpDesk (785-587-2077).
21. What if a student does not have Internet at home?
Many Office 365 items can be accessed when not on the Internet if they were set up to do so. Students will receive
instructions on how to make their files available offline. All educational buildings in the district have exterior access
to district Internet. The Manhattan-Ogden school district has a limited number of hotspots for home use to checkout.
Please see the district website for more information. Additionally, the district believes that there are a number of
free options to access the Internet around Manhattan that Internet service for everyone will not be provided by the
district. The following website shows some of the free, open WiFi hotspots around Manhattan:
https://wifispc.com/united-states/kansas/manhattan.html
22. Does the iPad automatically accept hot spots? If not, how do I go about getting the iPad to recognize a
new hot spot?
The iPad will pick up Internet connections that are within range. If it is the first time on that hot spot or if there are
several options available, the user will have to select the connection and enter the security password (if there is one).
After the first time, that process will be automatic.
23. Do the iPads have a place where my student can plug in a jump drive? If so, where is the port located?
Yes. The Lightning port is at the bottom of the device, although it is suggested that documents be kept in the cloud
storage (either Office 365 or iCloud). The jump drive must be compatible with a Lightning port
24. Will students be able to print at home (wireless)?
Students will be able to print from their iPad while at school; however, they would only be able to print from their
iPad at home if they have access to a Cloud/AirPrint compatible printer. An alternative to purchasing a new printer is
for students to log into their Office 365 account from a home device (desktop or laptop computer) that is connected
to a home printer, pull up their work that is stored in their O365 or iCloud Drive and print from that home device. It is
anticipated that more school work will be handled online, thus reducing the dependency on printing and reducing the
amount of paper used at all levels.
25. What is the readability of the font size, types, and brightness for the programs and documents,
spreadsheets, presentations, and forms?
There are multiple controls on the iPad to help with these functions. Brightness is controlled from the Setting section-
Display and Brightness. To increase font size, go to Settings – Accessibility – Display and Text Size.
26. Who sees the information my student saves or posts (photos or documents)?
Students can control who sees docs, spreadsheets, presentations and Office sites by setting sharing permission. It is
anticipated that students will share various classroom assignments with others as part of the collaborative process.
15Manhattan-Ogden administration has the ability to access all content on Manhattan-Ogden-owned devices and
managed accounts.
27. How is the technology/software updated?
The students are required to update their iPadOS and apps on their iPad when they are made available. When
possible students should update their iPads when at school. These updates are typically available 30 days after their
general release from Apple.
28. Are all classes moving to electronic textbooks?
No. Replacement of textbooks will take place over the next several years. The district follows a schedule for review
and replacement of instructional materials that does not overburden the district budget with purchase of new texts
for all classes. Access to online textbooks will be purchased as new textbooks are purchased.
29. Is the iPad Handbook included with the paperwork we encounter during the online registration?
The Loan Agreement is part of the online registration information; however, the iPad Handbook is not. You can
access the iPad Handbook on the district webpage.
Additionally, there are Board of Education policies that specifically address iPad and the use of technology IIBG-
Computer Use.
30. If my student already has a device will they be required to get a tablet from the district?
Assignments created by district teachers and staff are directed to the use of the iPad. Using other devices may not
match the instructions provided in the classroom. The district recommends that students use the device that is
provided by the district to complete directed assignments.

This equipment is, and at all-time remains, the property of Manhattan-Ogden (District) and is herewith lent to the
Student/Borrower for educational purposes only for the academic school year.
Student/Borrower may not deface or destroy this property in any way. Inappropriate use of the machine may
result in the Student/Borrower losing his/her right to use this iPad. The equipment will be returned to the school
when requested by the District, or sooner, if the Student/Borrower withdraws from the District prior to the end of

One user account with specific privileges and capabilities has been set up on the iPad for the exclusive use of the
Student/Borrower to which it has been assigned. The Student/Borrower agrees to make no attempts to change or
allow others to change the privileges and capabilities of this user account and also agrees to make no attempts to
add, delete, access or modify another user’s account.
The District network is provided for the academic use of all students and staff. The Student/Borrower agrees to
take no action that would interfere with the efficient, academic use of the network.
Identification and inventory labels have been placed on the iPad. These labels are not to be removed or modified.
If they become damaged or missing, the student must contact the student help desk for replacements. Additional
stickers, labels, tags or markings are not to be added to the iPad or the protective case unless approved by the
school administrator.
A Microsoft Office 365 as well as an Apple Education account is available for each Student/Borrower to use for
appropriate academic communication with other students and staff members.
Students will be charged replacement cost for any intentional, negligent or repeated damage to, loss of, or failure
to return the iPad. Student/Borrower acknowledges and agrees that his/her use of the iPad is a privilege and that
by Student/Borrower's agreement to the terms hereof, Student/Borrower acknowledges his/her responsibility to

17Technology Code of Conduct
Purpose:
Students’ lives today are filled with media that gives them mobile access to information and resources at
all times. The opportunities are limitless, borderless, and instantaneous. In an effort to empower
students to engage actively in their own learning, Manhattan-Ogden USD 383 provides the opportunity
for students to use technology devices (both district and personally owned) within district locations or in
connection with a school sponsored event. Students wishing to use the technology must do so in a
responsible manner as stated in the Computer Use Policy (IIBG -
http://www.usd383.org/home/showdocument?id=1016) as well as in accordance with the following
requirements. Issues surrounding personally owned devices are addressed in the student handbooks at
each school. (see Addendum at the end of this Code of Conduct).
Device Types:
For the purpose of this Code of Conduct, the word “device” refers to any district or privately owned
digital electronic equipment that includes but not limited to: laptops, netbooks, e-readers, tablets/slates,
iPod Touches, cell, Smart phones and wearable technology. Devices created specifically for gaming are
not allowed (e.g., Nintendo Switch, PlayStation Portable PSP, etc.) unless otherwise approved by an

identified for their educational value to students and alignment with the curriculum. A review of the
resources has identified the equipment or materials appropriate for students and are necessary for the
educational process. Students will utilize these programs, applications, apps, sites as a classroom
resource in a manner required to meet curricular objectives. Students needing modifications will need to
submit requests to administration and responsible staff.

that address curricular needs. Students that come across inappropriate materials, or witness others on
these sites, should contact a teacher or other responsible staff immediately.
6. The district reserves the right to inspect a student’s device or district accounts at any time if there is
18reason to believe that the student has violated Board policies, administrative procedures, school rules, or
has engaged in other misconduct involving other students or staff while using the device. These devices
or accounts may also be inspected if there is a concern for the health, safety or welfare of district
students.
7. Violations of any Board policies, administrative procedures, or school rules involving a student’s use
of a device may result in the suspension of technology access within the district and/or disciplinary
action, up to and including suspension or expulsion. If there are curricular requirements for technology
use then adjustments will be made by the administrator and staff.
8. The student must comply with a teacher’s request when using technology. If directed, students will
shut down or close a device.
