All contents and usage of electronic mail shall be the property of the Albertville City Schools. The intent of the Albertville City Schools is to provide access to resources available via the Internet with the understanding that faculty, staff, and students will access and use information that is appropriate for their various curricula. The Albertville City Schools have taken precautions to restrict access to controversial materials. However, on a global network it is impossible to control all materials. We believe that the valuable information and interaction available on this worldwide network far outweighs the possibility that users may procure material that is not consistent with the educational goals of the System.
Internet access is provided to allow students to conduct research and to communicate with others.
Students will gain access to the Internet by agreeing to conduct themselves in a considerate and responsible manner and by providing the written permission of parents. All school rules and guidelines for appropriate technology usage shall apply to usage of the Internet. Because communications on the Internet are, often, public in nature, all users should be careful to maintain appropriate and responsible communications. Users should not expect that files stored on the Albertville City Schools World Wide Web server will always be private. Students will be allowed to conduct independent research and communicate on the Internet upon the receipt of the appropriate permission forms.
