INTERNET / COMPUTER USAGE GUIDELINES
The Internet is an unregulated network of millions of computers that change and grow constantly. Although students will be using the Internet for supervised educational experiences, it will be very difficult to monitor and screen all information received. Students and parents must be aware of that possibility when students are granted the permission to utilize the school’s technology resources. All grades 6 through 12 will have access to the classroom or library computers for instruction or school related research.
Responsibilities for Computer/Internet Use>
- Use hardware/software/Internet as an education resource and accept the responsibility for the preservation and care of that hardware and/or software and for all material received. Only those users who have received training or have prior experience shall be authorized for use.

- Refrain from bringing food and drinks into any room containing computers or other electronic equipment.
- Passwords are not to be shared or used by non-authorized students.
- Abide by copyright laws. NO personal software may ever be brought in from outside the school and loaded onto the computers.
