"One to World" Tablet Initiative
Lynbrook Public Schools believe that digital learning is a vital component of the twenty-first century learning environment. As such, the district promotes its "One to World" tablet program every student. Each student will have the opportunity to utilize the Dell laptop in school and at home to extend their educational opportunities. Participation in the program will provide the students with the ability to:
- individualize their learning experience
- collaborate with peers
- communicate with their teacher
- develop skills for the 21st Century
- Keep your eyes on your tablet. Avoid leaving it out, unattended.
- Do not use the tablet near food or liquids.
- When carrying the device, always use two hands.
- When not using the tablet, always keep it in a case.
- Keep the keyboard and screen clean by washing your hands before using.
- Do not place objects on top of the tablet.

Acceptable Use Policy & Tablet User Agreement
Lynbrook Public Schools requires students to complete a Tablet User Agreement and Acceptable Use Policy. To reduce paper waste, the district is providing an easy online form for families to complete. Building principals will send out notification containing detailed information about accessing online forms.
In the event you are unable to complete the form in digital format, below are links for a paper copy that can be submitted to the main office in your child's building.

Lynbrook Public Schools takes the matters of Internet Safety and Cyberbullying seriously. Cyberbullying means the use – either on or off school property – of information technology, including but not limited to the Internet, email, instant messaging services, chat rooms, blogs, cell phones, pagers, PDAs, gaming systems and social media websites, to deliberately harass, threaten or intimidate others. Cyberbullying may involve sending mean, vulgar or threatening messages or images; posting sensitive or private information about another person on an Internet site; pretending to be someone else in order to speak harmful untruths about that other person; or intentionally excluding someone from an Internet-based group or activity. Please refer to our Board of Educations policies for more detailed information.

Lynbrook Public Schools purchases an extended warranty that covers manufacturer's defects and one device repair per calendar year. The district encourages families to purchase an insurance policy for vandalism and theft which are not covered by the repair warranty. There are two ways to enroll in the tablet insurance program:
- ONLINE: A post from the district communication tool, ParentSquare, will include an opportunity to pay the theft/vandalism insurance digitally.
- NON-DIGITAL FORMAT: If preferred, a family may complete the paperwork in the traditional paper format. Download/complete the Acceptable Use Policy, fill out a check made out to Lynbrook Public Schools for $27 (include your child's full name in the Memo field), and send the completed AUP and the check to the main office of your child's school.
