Welcome to Instructional Technology

The Payette School District has seen significant growth in classroom technology over the past several years. What was once managed by a single Instructional Technology staff member now requires a dedicated team of technicians to ensure systems operate efficiently and effectively in support of student learning.

The district currently provides a 1:1 Chromebook program beginning in second grade. Kindergarten and first-grade students have daily access to both iPads and Chromebooks equipped with high-quality instructional applications.

Students regularly use a wide range of digital learning tools selected by teachers to enhance instruction, allowing the district to blend traditional teaching methods with modern technology.

Students in grades 7–12 are assigned a Chromebook to take home each day for schoolwork and homework. Before receiving a device, a signed technology agreement and liability consent form must be on file. Students and parents are responsible for proper care of the device and may be held liable for damage resulting from loss or misuse.

In addition to student devices, the district supports approximately 250 staff computers, along with the servers, printers, Wi-Fi infrastructure, and networking systems required to maintain an effective learning environment and meet operational and reporting needs.

Device Protection Program

Welcome to the Payette Joint School District Technology program; a comprehensive initiative designed to equip students with modern tools and resources in their educational journey.

To ensure a safe and effective learning environment is kept, the Payette Schools will provide technology to its students. These devices will be consistent across grade groupings (Kindergarten, 1-6, and 7-12). These devices are for instructional purpose and to maximize education.

Agreement

As a student of the Payette School District and the parent/guardian of such student, we assume responsibility for loss, damage, or theft of assigned technology. Whether used at school of off school premises, we recognize that the device is school property and will not intentionally maltreat the equipment or act with gross negligence.

“I accept responsibility for the appropriate use of the District equipment entrusted to me and promise to return the equipment when requested.”

“I acknowledge that abuse, misuse, or malicious behavior may result in a discussion related to repair or replacement of damaged equipment entrusted to me and payment to the district or school for such repair or replacement.”

“I understand the Payette School District offers an “Optional Device Protection Plan.” The cost of the optional insurance is $25 for 1 year of coverage and can be renewed each year. This $25 cost covers one (1) claim per year for accidental damage, loss, or theft. Negligence, gross negligence or purposeful damage, failure to file a police report for lost or stolen devices and intentional damage to someone else’s device are NOT covered by this insurance. When necessary, a loaner device can be checked out while repairs are being completed."
