Baldwin Union Free School District (UFSD) has developed a robust K-12 remote learning curriculum to support our students’ ongoing growth as learners through a combination of synchronous and asynchronous lessons and class projects led by our teachers.
Insurance Option for District’s Chromebooks
We are pleased to inform you that we have secured an optional insurance agreement with Smart Tech Insurance to provide peace of mind for any damage to your child’s Chromebook, as well as loss or theft of the device.
The price for the insurance policy is $29 and will be effective until July 1, 2023, with an option to renew each school year.
Parents will need to purchase the insurance policy directly with Smart Tech Insurance using the instructions below. Also, all insurance claims are handled directly through Smart Tech. The Baldwin Union Free School District DOES NOT need to be involved with any insurance claims.

Important Guidelines and eLearning Etiquette
Please review the following:
- When your child’s teacher engages in live videoconferencing, please be aware that everyone involved in the session can see what is happening in the immediate area of your child.
- Consider providing your child(ren) with headphones or earbuds while engaging with audio or video content as it will help them focus on the learning and not on what’s happening in the home.
- If possible, provide a quiet space with limited surrounding activity so your child can participate in the learning activities. It is helpful for students to mute their microphones upon entering a live session.
- Adults/siblings should not be present or interrupt any live session unless younger children need technological assistance.
- Students are prohibited from recording a videoconference session in any form.
- Students are prohibited from altering any content presented during remote learning.
- Students are prohibited from distributing in any manner any altered content in the event altered content is received.
- Students may not use school approved platforms for any purpose other than their intended use as directed by their teacher.
- Students are to use appropriate language at all times.
- Students must follow the teacher’s instructions during the session.
- Students should dress in appropriate attire.
- Only teachers have permission to invite individuals to learning sessions. Students are not permitted to invite others to these sessions.
- Adults must not record, alter or distribute a videoconference session in any form.
Please note that teachers will not record sessions with students as it would be a violation of FERPA, the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.
