- Personalize your device in school appropriate ways. Device customization (screensavers, backgrounds, skins, etc.) must not violate the district’s student code of conduct and/or Acceptable Use Policy (AUP).
- Label your device with your first and last name. Attach something unique, like a luggage tag, to your device case to prevent another student from taking it by mistake.
- Bring your device to school in a case to protect the screen from damage.
