At Exploration Academy, we prioritize the safe and ethical use of technology. Students are expected to demonstrate responsible care for district-owned devices, adhering to guidelines for usage both on and off-campus. Compliance with the VASD Acceptable Use Policy is mandatory, ensuring that devices are used primarily for educational purposes. The school provides filtering measures to enhance student safety online. Students must report any inappropriate content and are responsible for the security and care of their assigned technology. Optional protection plans are available to cover potential damages.
