Library Media

OASD maintains eight libraries, with a total of over 60,000 materials and many online resources available to students and staff. To comply with the federal Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA), enacted December 21, 2000, our schools use internet filtering software and adult supervision when students use the internet.  

In addition to supporting student literacy, our Elementary Libraries also serve as STEM Learning Centers/Makerspaces, which give students the opportunities to learn and apply design thinking concepts, computer science & coding, and digital creation/technology skills.

OASD developed the Technology Plan to provide equity and access to technology for all of our students.  Students in grades 4-12 will be issued a Chromebook, while all other students will have access to classroom devices.  The Chromebooks will be used to create, collaborate, think critically, and communicate.  Chromebooks are used to provide multiple means of representing information, engaging students, and expressing learning.  At OASD, we believe in empowering a community of learners and leaders in which students and staff utilize technology to leverage teaching and learning.  

Chromebook Policy Handbook

Students are responsible for their ethical and educational use of the technology resources of Oconomowoc Area School District. All district policies and handbook expectations apply to the use of Chromebooks.  Consequences for inappropriate use are outlined in the Internet Safety and Acceptable Use Policy. Students are responsible for bringing a fully charged Chromebook to school each day for all classes unless advised not to do so by a teacher.  Students will use their Google Account Login to access the Internet on the Chromebook. Students’ Google Apps for Education Suite of Tools will be used for work production and saving online work. Chromebooks are the property of Oconomowoc Area School District.  Students should handle the device with care. The School Student Handbook and the District Chromebook Website outline the general care of the Chromebook (carry in case, do not eat/drink near Chromebook, do not leave Chromebook unsupervised, etc…).

Chromebook Agreement & Insurance Form

Students are encouraged to use the Chromebook at school and at home.  The Oconomowoc Area School District uses a network filtering system as one means of measurement of protection for our students.  A comprehensive approach including protection measures, monitoring and instruction is utilized in our school district. The district-issued student Chromebooks will have Internet filtering at school and at home to the extent it is possible with the tools in place within the School District & Google Apps for Education Administration.  There may be times when the filtering tools may not work, may fail, or changes beyond the District’s control may occur causing web filtering to not occur on the district-issued devices when they are not within the School District. Parents and students are encouraged to report to their site administrator any complaints or concerns regarding student access or exposure to any content, activities, or communications that may be harmful, deceptive, or otherwise inappropriate or objectionable.  It is recommended a student’s use of the Internet be monitored.

We encourage families to have conversations about responsible technology use.  We recommend using the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction's New Interactive Safety Resource.  

Additional Internet Safety Information can be found here.  

The Internet Safety and Acceptable Use Policy 363.2  applies to the Chromebook and its use. Click this link to read the full policy.

All Chromebooks are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty for malfunction due to manufacturing or non-performance issues.  The warranty does not cover damage that is determined (by the District) to be accidental, intentional, or the result of negligent use or treatment; nor does it cover outright loss or destruction of the Chromebook, power cord, battery, or sleeve.

At OASD, we use G Suite for Education.  G Suite for Education is a set of education productivity tools from Google including Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Classroom, and many more used by tens of millions of students and teachers around the world.  At OASD, students will use their G Suite accounts to complete assignments, communicate with teachers, sign into their Chromebooks, and learn 21st century digital citizenship skills.  Using their G Suite for Education accounts, students may access and use the following "Core Services" and "Additional Services" offered by Google:
