COMMUNITY USER AGREEMENT
FOR ACCEPTABLE USE OF THE
ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM
August
2007 thru July 2008
You are being
given access to the District’s electronic
communications system. Through this system, you will
be able to communicate with other schools, colleges,
organizations, and people around the world through the
Internet and other electronic information
systems/networks. You will have access to hundreds of
databases, libraries, and computer services all over
the world.
With this
opportunity comes responsibility. It is important
that you read the District policy, administrative
regulations, and agreement form and ask questions if
you need help in understanding them. Inappropriate
system use will result in the loss of the privilege to
use this educational tool.
Please note that
the Internet is a network of many types of
communication and information networks. It is
possible that you may run across some material you
might find objectionable. While the District will
take reasonable steps to restrict access to such
material, it is not possible to absolutely prevent
such access. It will be your responsibility to follow
the rules for appropriate use.

You will be held responsible at all times for the
proper use of your account, and the District may
suspend or revoke your access if you violate the
rules.

the school’s point of view.

I understand
that my computer use is not private and that the
District will monitor my activity on the computer
system.
