Non-District Adopted Software List
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.
IUSD policy requires teachers to provide their students with lessons in digital citizenship, to emphasize, model, and practice the importance of acting appropriately online before using any software or applications with students.
All other online software programs and websites are considered non-District adopted software, therefore, parent permission may be required. A list of non-District adopted software used at Jeffrey Trail MS was included in the registration process.
The intent is to use the software to enrich the educational experience while protecting each child’s personal information. Whenever possible students will use “nicknames” or teacher generated “usernames” that do not use any personal identifying information of the student. In instances where the software requires the student’s personal information (name, personal email address, or other personal information) you can “opt out” of its use and an alternate method for completing the work will be given.
*GAFE Account is Google Apps for Education account. Students can login using their GAFE (Google Apps For Education) login which is their IUSD username & password). They do not need to create a new login or account.
