STUDENT AGREEMENT
FOR ACCEPTABLE USE OF THE
ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM
August
2007 thru June 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 educational 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 areas of adult
content and some material you (or you parents) 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.
Students in grades 6 – 12 will be
assigned an individual account, and you are
responsible for not sharing the password for that
account with others.
OR
Students in grades Pre-K, K – 5 will
have access only through the teacher’s account.
· The
account is to be used mainly for identified
educational purposes, but some limited personal use is
permitted. [See CQ(LOCAL)]
· 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.
· Remember
that people who receive e-mail from you with a school
address might
think your message represents the
school’s point of view.
INAPPROPRIATE USES
· Using
the system for any illegal purpose.
· Borrowing
someone’s account without permission.
· Posting
personal information about yourself or others (such as
addresses and phone numbers).
· Downloading
or using copyrighted information without permission
from the copyright holder.
· Posting
messages or accessing materials that are abusive,
obscene, sexually oriented, threatening, harassing,
damaging to another’s reputation, or illegal.
· Wasting
school resources through the improper use of the
computer system.
· Gaining
unauthorized access to restricted information or
resources.
CONSEQUENCES FOR INAPPROPRIATE USE
· Suspension
of access to the system.
· Revocation
of the computer system account; or
· Other
disciplinary or legal action, in accordance with the
Student Code of Conduct and applicable laws.
The student agreement must be renewed
each academic year.
