resources for learning activities and classroom projects.

Students of all ages are expected to exercise responsible behavior when on the Internet.

Responsible behavior includes, but is not limited to, the following: being courteous;

following the rules set up by other groups on the Internet; using the Internet as a resource

tool; avoiding inappropriate language; and staying on task.

A. BE POLITE. Do not send abusive messages to anyone.

B. USE APPROPRIATE LANGUAGE. Never swear, use vulgarities or any other

inappropriate language. Any language pertaining to illegal activities is strictly

forbidden. Note that E-mail is not guaranteed to be private. People who operate

the system have access to all mail. Messages relating to illegal activities must

be reported to appropriate authorities.

C. PRIVACY. Do not reveal the personal addresses or phone numbers of yourself or

any other person. Do not forward or distribute any E-mail message without

permission from the author.

D. CONNECTIVITY. Do not use the network in such a way that would disrupt the use of

the network by others.

LOSS OF SCHOOL-SPONSORED INTERNET AND INTRANET ACCESS, AND MAY

ALSO SUBJECT A STUDENT TO DISCIPLINE ACCORDING TO THE DISTRICT’S

B. Any computer problems, and any questions about proper Internet content or use

must be directed to a teacher or Principal. Students should not attempt to fix

solutions to problems, or use the Internet to find solutions to problems, without the

prior approval of their teacher. Students may, however, work with each other on

class assignments with their teacher’s approval. Each student is responsible for the

use of his/her account. No student should ever share his/her account or password

with any other person. All students must participate in training in the proper use of

the network before they use their Internet accounts. Account users are responsible
