    • Do not carry devices while open. They should be closed when moved from one location to another. 
    • DO NOT WRITE, PUT STICKERS OR PERSONALIZE DEVICES..THIS IS SCHOOL PROPERTY and NO ONE WANTS TO BE ISSUED A DEVICE WITH ANOTHER PERSONS NAME ON IT :(

     Non-functional or Damaged Devices

     Home-Bound Students

    Some students will be permitted to take devices home and will need to adhere to additional precautions when devices are taken off school property.

    • Do not allow pets near the devices.
    • Do not leave the devices in your vehicle or anyone else's vehicle.
    • Do not leave the device unattended.
    • Damage, loss, or theft which occurs to the device as a result of a student failing to use due care (which includes but is not limited to failure to abide by the above precautions) will result in the parent /guardian being responsible reimbursing the district up to $255.00 for repair or replacing the device and/or supporting components suchs as chargers, etc...

     Lost Devices

    • Ask students about the missing device first. It could be that it wasn't put back after being used and is sitting on a desk or table in a classroom.
    • Teachers often share devices, so make sure to ask one of your fellow teachers about the device.
    • Contact principal and other administrator.
    • Contact the technology department via HelpDesk.
    • The technology department will manage, lock and/or locate the device if possible.
    • Should the device be recovered, it will be returned to the classroom.
    • If the device cannot be located, it will be marked as lost and a replacement will be provided.

     Stolen Devices

    • IF you suspect the device is stolen on school grounds, contact campus police. Make sure to identify the type of device stolen.
    • IF the device has been stolen off school grounds, contact your local police department and make sure you identify to them the type of device and that it is the property of Angleton Independent School District.
    • The police department will work with AISD police officers to collaborate on solving the issue.
    • IF more information is needed to help manage and locate the stolen device, AISD officers will communicate with the technology department.
    • A replacement device will be provided, unless otherwise noted for certain reoccurring issues.

     Classroom Management

    "Classroom Management" is a term commonly used in schools; it refers to the procedures, strategies and instructional techniques that are effective in managing student behavior and learning activities. Creating an environment that is conducive to teaching and learning can be very effective. This is a way for new teachers and veterans to find new ways of dealing with classroom situations that may be challenging for individual students or an entire class. Take a chance...because ineffective management in the classroom often creates chaos!
