Your child has access to electronic communication known as the Internet. The Internet is a collection of more than 20,000 interconnected computer networks. The vast domain of information contained within Internet's libraries can provide unlimited opportunities to students.
Students will be able to access the Internet through their school issued individual student accounts and/or teacher accounts. Individual electronic mail addresses will not be issued to students. If a student already has an electronic mail address, he/she will not be permitted to use the address to send and receive mail at school.
Students will be expected to abide by the following network etiquette:
· The use of the technology and on-line resources is a privilege and may be taken away for violation of board policy or regulations. As a user of the Internet, students may be allowed access to other networks. Each network may have its own set of policies and procedures. Students will abide by the polices and procedures of these other networks.
· Students will not violate school policies and regulations with respect to use of technology and on-line resources.
· Students will respect all copyright and license agreements.
· Students will correctly cite all quotes, references, and sources.
· Students will only remain on the system long enough to get needed information and log off after each use.
· Students must keep their passwords private and are accountable if someone else uses their password. Students may request a new password at any time.
· Students will apply the same privacy, ethical and educational considerations utilized in other forms of communication.
· Students will not have access to electronic mail on their own accounts.
· Students accessing Internet services that have a cost involved will be responsible for payment of those costs.
