Ultimately, we believe that parents and guardians of minors are responsible for setting and conveying the standards that their children should follow when using electronic media and information sources. To that end, the Cedar Rapids Community School District supports and respects each family's right to decide whether or not to apply for independent network access. To gain independent access to the Internet, all students must read and sigh the accompanying access agreement. District Internet Agreement Access to the electronic information network is provided as a resource through which students may conduct research and communicate with others. All access should be in support of and consistent with the Cedar Rapids Community School District's strategic plan and educational objectives.
Electronic access is a privilege that entails responsibility.
Just as students are responsible for their behavior in the classroom or in a school hallway, the are also responsible for appropriate behavior on school computer networks. Students will restrict their access to material deemed appropriate by staff and parents. Students will use appropriate language and be respectful of others. Students will observe and respect license and copyright agreements. Students will keep passwords and personal information confidential.
