The same general rules for behavior and communications apply. To remain eligible as users, students' use must be in support of and consistent with the educational objectives of the Division. Students are not permitted to access the school division computer network with privately owned laptop computers. Students shall not install software on the school division's computers unless authorized by the Rockingham County Public Schools Technology Department. Access is a privilege, not a right.
Access requires responsibility.
Users should not expect that files stored on school-based computers will be private. Electronic messages and files stored on school-based computers are always regarded as property of the Division. Authorized administrators and faculty may review files and logs of Internet use at any time, without reason or prior notice, to maintain system integrity and determine that users are acting responsibly or otherwise consistent with this policy. Any violation of Division policy and rules may result in immediate termination of Division-provided access to the Internet. Additional disciplinary action may be determined at the building level in keeping with existing procedures and practices regarding inappropriate conduct.
