NON-ADOPTED SOFTWARE

Recently, both the State and Federal Government have enhanced protections  for student information, particularly where educational technology is concerned.  By using this technology, student learning can be made relevant to real world experiences, support the foundation of new Common Core standards, and prepare students with the necessary 21st century skills.

Online resources are an important part of IUSD commitment to providing the highest quality educational experience for our students.  IUSD policy requires teachers to provide their students with lessons in digital citizenship, to emphasize, model, and participate in the importance of acting appropriately online before using any software or applications with students. 

District-adopted software that meet the legal requirements and IUSD policy regarding data privacy can be found at the district’s Software Resources page.   

All other online software programs and websites that Lakeside teachers may use with their students are considered non-District adopted software, therefore, parent permission may be required.
