Student Privacy Law

Howard Lake-Waverly-Winsted Public Schools uses a variety of digital tools to support student learning. Technology vendors and software are utilized to support work as we help all students develop the skills necessary to succeed in an ever-changing world.  We have an inventory of our curriculum, testing, and assessment tools which includes an outline of the student data elements within each tool.  Please reach out to Travis Eldred at teldred@hlww.k12.mn.us for additional questions regarding specific digital tools used in classrooms.

Technology Agreement/Insurance

The Technology Agreement needs to be completed each year your student receives a Chromebook. Chromebook Insurance is an optional fee that assists in covering accidental damage throughout one school year. Both can be accessed from Edutrak/Wordware which is the same service used by the Food Service department.

  1. Please visit hlww.us/pay
  2. Click the Green Button: ‘Click here to begin our setup ‘ under ‘Don’t have an account yet?’ (If you already have an account sign in on the left side and skip to Step 7)
  3. Fill out the required information.
  4. Select ‘No, I do not have a key’.
  5. Then enter one student’s ‘Student ID’ (this is the ‘Perm ID’ number found on the Student Profile document) as well as the same student’s birthdate. This will allow you to connect to your student’s Edutrak family account.
  6. Then continue to finish and sign into your new account. (We recommend skipping the last step asking for credit card information and adding that later if needed, just scroll down to ‘skip this step’ towards the bottom of the page) This account can be used for School Food Service as well as Technology Fees.
  7. Fill out the Technology Use Agreement for each student by clicking ‘Assign’ then ‘Sign Forms’.
  8. (optional) Pay for Chromebook Insurance. (If you wish not to purchase insurance, fill out the form indicating as such and delete the item from your cart upon completion. The form must be submitted for your student to receive their Chromebook)
    1. Pay online through Edutrak with a Credit Card or Bank Account.
    2. Pay cash or check written to ISD #2687. (If you are paying using either of these options you may delete the fee item from your cart)
