Acceptable Use Agreement for
Students
Internet access is now available
to students and staff in the Shandon School District. This allows local and
distant computers to communicate. The
computer system is intended to support learning, increase opportunities for
communication, and add resources for learning.
Network Conduct and Acceptable
Use:
The Shandon computer system
should be shared and available to all approved users. Inappropriate conduct may result in disciplinary action. This includes damage, vandalism, or theft of
equipment, services, and software. The
system may not be used to communicate unlawful information or to transmit
computer viruses. Accessing information
which is pornographic, sexist, obscene, racist, or abusive is
unacceptable. Users may not plagiarize
or violate copyright laws. Users may
not disrupt computer systems or network, destroy or modify computer data, or
harm or destroy any computer or network hardware. Users may not use inappropriate language. Downloading of alcohol, drug paraphernalia,
pornography, or any illegal activities is strictly forbidden. Students are not allowed to use Chat
Rooms or send E-Mail unless it is school related! Shandon Schools may also find other conduct
objectionable.
Network Etiquette:
Network users need to respect the
privacy of all users. Do not reveal
the personal address, names, or phone numbers of yourself or anyone else. Keep passwords confidential.
Network Monitoring:
It is possible that your
child(ren) may find material on the Internet that you would consider
objectionable. Although your student’s
use of the Internet will be supervised by staff, we cannot guarantee that your
child(ren) will not gain access to inappropriate material. Shandon staff members will determine what is
appropriate use of technology resources.
The district staff will refer for disciplinary action any individual who
does not comply with the provisions of this agreement. Cancellation of user privileges or
disciplinary action will be at the discretion of the staff after application of
due process.
Penalties for Improper Use:
Any user violating rules,
applicable to state and federal laws, or posted classroom and District rules,
is subject to loss of network privileges and other disciplinary action. In addition, pertaining to State and federal
laws, any unauthorized access, attempted access, or use of any state computing
