Equipment

All district WFH (Work From Home) equipment taken home will be in your care and custody.   You are responsible for exercising all reasonable care to prevent abuse to, excessive wear, loss or damage to NLPS owned equipment or materials entrusted to your care.  Report any damage or loss of equipment to your supervisor immediately.

Information Privacy and Security

While working from home, the security and privacy of the information that you are entrusted with through your district-provided access are potentially placed at a greater risk of exposure than when working at the office.  For this reason, a increased level of security awareness and practices must be exercised.  For example:

• Exercise greater care with your passwords; Refer to these tips on password safety (link) and avoiding email scams (link)
• Always secure and attend to your laptops and storage devices – don’t leave them unsecured when unattended
• Always lock your desktop when stepping away from it, even for a moment: use (Windows Key + L) to lock your screen without logging off
• Keep your assigned computer to yourself – it isn’t to be shared with unauthorized users, even family members
• Report any loss or breach or privacy or security to your supervisor immediately.

Do you need help with network or software access (i.e. Teams, Email, District files, etc.)
