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 system/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 might find objectionable. While the District will use filtering technology to restrict access to such material, it is not possible to absolutely prevent such access. It will be your responsibility to follow the rules of appropriate use.

Rules for Appropriate Use

You will be assigned an individual account, and you are responsible for not sharing the password for that account with others.

The account is to be used mainly for educational purposes, but some limited personal use is permitted.

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.
