HOTSPOT INFORMATION
Overview
The Kuna School District provides free access to the internet with WiFi hotspots outside of each school.
The district has a limited number of WiFi Hotspots for check out for students who do not have access to the internet or have inadequate access to the internet.
Devices are available at no cost and are intended to allow students to use district-issued Chromebooks to access online instruction, communicate with teachers, and complete work required for school while at home.
The Kuna School District reserves the right to determine, limit, and/or cancel participation in this program at any time.
Families and staff must submit an application to check out a WiFi hotspot. Hotspots will be distributed based on need.
Only one WiFi hotspot will be issued to each household for use during the school year and returned when requested. Families should return the hotspot if they acquire or expand internet access and no longer need the hotspot.
General Use
Devices are the property of the Kuna School District and are configured/managed exclusively by the district.
Devices are intended for the exclusive use of the individual student or their family to whom it has been issued for educational purpose. Devices checked out should remain at home and not brought to school, where the internet is provided.
Only district-issued Chromebooks - no personal devices - should be connected to the hotspot device.
Students should not share access and/or login information.
If the Wifi device is lost, stolen, damaged, or becomes inoperable, students or parent/guardian should notify the Kuna School District Technology Department at 208-472-9700.
If lost or damaged, the family will be charged a replacement cost of $99 if not returned.
Inappropriate Use
Access to the Internet at school is an integral part of the Kuna School District instructional program. Access to the Internet away from the District, through this means, is an added educational benefit. Failure to use the WiFi hotspot device in an appropriate manner, violating Kuna School District policies or tampering with the device may result in disciplinary action and possible loss of the opportunity to use the WiFi hotspot.
Student & Parent Responsibilities
- Use the device in a responsible manner and follow all policies, acceptable use agreements, and guidelines.
- Regularly monitor usage and student browsing activity. The Kuna School District provides Internet content filtering away from the District through the Chromebook, but parents should monitor Internet usage at home.
- Take proper care of the device – keep away from food, liquids, dirt, etc.
