Courage & Character

Hello Fall River Fox Families,

We’re excited to share some important updates to your child’s iPad settings as part of our Learning Technology Program (LTP). This program provides rich opportunities for students to investigate, communicate, collaborate, create, model, and explore concepts in authentic contexts. To further support this vision and ensure a safe and consistent learning environment, protect student privacy, and foster responsible use of technology, we’ll be implementing a few key adjustments to the iPad settings.

Here’s a closer look at the updates you can expect:

• Universal iPad Background
  To create a consistent and unified digital environment across our elementary schools, all student iPads will feature a standard St. Vrain Valley Schools background.
• Passcodes Required for Grades 4-5
  Beginning next school year, students in 4th and 5th grade will be required to set a passcode on their iPads to help protect personal information. Our school staff will guide students through this process and will be available to assist with passcode resets if needed. Please ensure your child understands the importance of keeping their passcode private.
• Improved Web Filtering
  A new web filter specifically designed to provide a safe and focused online learning experience when using district devices both at home and at school.

Our school will also have the ability to implement additional restrictions on a student’s iPad if further support for focus and learning is necessary. We will communicate directly with families if such measures are put in place for their child.

We believe these changes will help foster a safe, focused learning environment, while still encouraging the creativity, exploration, and authentic learning experiences that are at the heart of our Learning Technology Program.

We appreciate your partnership in supporting a safe and enriching learning environment for all our students. If you have any questions about these updates, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us.

Onward and upward!
