In connection with the Watertown-Mayer Profile of a Graduate, the district continues to make technology decisions using the ISTE (International Society for Technology in Education) standards. These guiding standards correlate with the work the district is already doing with the profile. ISTE's guiding principles help us ensure that we are utilizing technology in a relevant, authentic, safe, and sustainable way.

Watertown-Mayer Schools Acceptable Use PolicyIn order to ensure a safe and responsible environment, please review the district's technology acceptable use policy. All students, staff, and others contributing to the district are expected to understand and follow the policy as outlined.

 Watertown-Mayer Schools Bullying PolicyPlease review the district's bullying policy. This policy is in effect via technology, as well as in person.

It is our goal to make sure that all students have equal access to the technology devices needed for education.

Technology Devices
Watertown-Mayer Public Schools uses a Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) model for classroom technology.  Students in grades 5-12 have three different options when deciding what device they will use in school:

• Check out a school-owned device
• Bring a device from home that you already own
• Use the Best Buy Dual-Funded Program

Discounted Internet Access
The Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) provides eligible households a discount of up to $30 per month off their internet bills (or up to $75 per month for households living on Tribal lands), as well as a one-time discount of up to $100 off an eligible connected device like a laptop, desktop computer or tablet. In many cases, households can get high-speed internet without paying a dime by choosing a fully covered internet plan.  You can get more information and find out if you qualify at GetInternet.gov.
