AUP (Acceptable Use Policy) Process for ALL FACULTY AND STAFF
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Once a student has a signed AUP Permission slip and is given a username & password, they will ALWAYS have an account in Arp Schools until they either graduate or leave the district. They DO NOT need to resign the AUP Permission Slip each year. However, they DO need to be taught the age appropriate AUP each year AND be reminded each year of the importance of the AUP Policy and consequences of not following it.
We give usernames and passwords to students 3-12th grades. When these students log on to ANY computer in the district, they need to use their OWN username and passwords. (Teachers in the lower grades may request a "class" password...but students need to use their OWN username.)
PRIMARY GRADES USER ACCOUNTS
Students in Pre-K, K, 1, and 2 are given a class username and password unless the teacher has need of unique usernames. Students this young need to have plenty of time to practice classroom usernames before they are assigned unique usernames. It may take all of the K and 1st grade years and even into the 2nd grade second semester before they are ready to be assigned their own usernames. Please do not expect these groups to be ready for a username at the beginning of the year.
HOW TO GET AN ACCOUNT
1. It is the responsibility of the teacher to teach the AUP. We have PowerPoints online for each age level and a test. The PowerPoints are ONLY to help remind the students of important points. They DO NOT replace the AUP Booklet! Please see: http://www.arp.sprnet.org/default/admin/AUP/aup_test.htm Students can review AUP using the appropriate age level PowerPoint.
2. Each Student needs a copy of the AUP booklet ( may get from Joy or any BCIS teacher) EVERYONE in the district MUST read the AUP Booklet!
3. If student has never been taught the AUP at Arp ISD, please do the following:
Give 6-12th grade students the AUP booklet to study for the AUP test. K-5 students will review the appropriate PowerPoint for their grade level each year.
Discuss Major Issues from the AUP booklet in class. Do NOT assume the student has read the booklet without discussing it with them.
3. When student is ready, use your own login to log student on a computer. Use your users name and password so the student may to take the AUP test online at: http://www.arp.sprnet.org/default/admin/AUP/aup_test.htm
4. When a student finishes the test – log them off of the computer.
5. Ms. Rousseau receives the test through email and will (when she has time) determine if the student has met the age-appropriate requirement. She will email the teacher designated in the test form the results.
6. If student passes the AUP test - the student should print out the permission slip found at: http://www.arp.sprnet.org/default/admin/AUP/aup_test.htm, have the parents sign it AND the teacher who is providing the AUP instruction sign it.
7. Parents, Teacher and students must sign the AUP and send then send this paperwork to Sissy (don’t forget the date of graduation of the student)
8. The Tech Department creates a username using the year the student graduates then the first 5 letters of student’s last name and then the first letter of student’s first name. (Example: John Smith graduates in 2010, username is 10smithj)
9. The first time the student logs on they will use 1234556 as the password. The student will be asked to change password immediately
WHAT IF A STUDENT FORGETS THE PASSWORD?!?
If student has had a username and forgot there password,
Email Sissy the students Username and she will reset the password to 123456. The student will log on the first time after the password has been reset with 123456, then be asked to immediately change it to their own unique password.
HOW DO I KNOW IF A STUDENT ALREADY HAS AN ACCOUNT?
Questions to ask students to determine if they already have an account:
1. Has the student gone to school in Arp School 1 or more years in grades 3 or above? If yes, then they probably have an account.
2. Did the student take BCIS in either 8th grade or in H.S.? If yes, then they DO have an account
3. Did they EVER have an account? Then yes, they have an account.
WHAT IF A STUDENT DOESN'T REMEMBER THEIR USERNAME? Email Sissy the students PEIMS name and year of graduation and she can look it up for you and reset the password to 123456.
