Technology is a critical part of the 21st century classroom and with full adoption of Winnacunnet High School’s 1-to-1 Chromebook Program in grades 9-12, we believe there is great potential for the use of online apps/tools to improve teaching and learning. The ever increasing availability of online teaching and learning resources comes with inherent risks and concerns regarding student data and privacy. Winnacunnet High School has a responsibility to ensure that students’ data and privacy are adequately protected when using online digital resources for school work.

Student Data Privacy Practice
The district manages personally identifiable information about students in accordance with the federal law known as FERPA. More information regarding federal and state laws, district policies and guidelines that address technology use and student data privacy can be found on the Policies/Laws and Guidelines page. Only online apps/tools that meet the instructional goals, and the New Hampshire legal requirements to protect student privacy and data, are approved for use by students.
Digital Citizenship
Winnacunnet High School has adopted Common Sense Education’s Cross-Curricular Framework, integrating its key topics into our library, health, and classroom curricula. Our building technology integrator directly instructs students on many of these lessons. We evaluate and update our Digital Citizenship curriculum and lessons to address new topics and issues as they emerge.
