Google

Our Chromebooks save all downloads into the student’s LSS Google Drive account. Use of flash drives is disabled on our Chromebooks. This ensures all student files are school-appropriate and are stored in a place that could be accessed from a different Chromebook if needed. 

Student accounts do not have the ability to share Google files with users outside the LSS domain - this includes with their own parents. If a parent wishes to see files in their child’s Google Drive, they may sign in with the student’s login credentials. Parent/Guardian may contact the homeroom teacher for that info.

G Suite applications (Documents, Sheets, Slides, Drawings) save student work automatically. If work is done in any other application, it is the student’s responsibility to ensure work is saved. 

Work accidentally deleted in a G Suite file can often be recovered using the Version History feature. If a file itself has been deleted, it may be recovered by visiting the trash in that application or could possibly be recovered by the district’s Drive backup solution. Any employee can contact the LSS Technology Department if a student is in need of this assistance.

Students have access to Google tools to utilize in the classroom. 

All activity and use of these tools is expected to be related to a school assignment. Students should not use Google tools to create files to share with other students without teacher permission for an in-class project. 

Students cannot share files with anyone outside of Lakeland Preparatory School. 

If a student repeatedly creates Google Slides files or other files that are not related to a school assignment, their access to share items will be limited. 

Students are given login information for a Google account. This is to be used for school purposes only. 

Students should not: 

• Sign up for any accounts on websites or programs using their Google information unless specified by a teacher or a member of the technology staff. 
• Share password and login information with other students.

Ninth and Tenth graders have access to a school based Gmail account. They are currently able to email faculty and staff within LPS.
