Communications on the network-Internet are public in nature, thus appropriate etiquette is compulsory. General school rules for proper behavior and communications will apply. The network is provided for all students on an equitable basis to conduct educational and school-based research and communicate with others. Access to network services will only be provided to students who agree to act in a considerate and responsible manner. Access to this supplemental service should be viewed as a privilege not a right.
Individual users are responsible for their behavior and communications over the networks.
Users will comply with District standards and will honor the agreements they or their parents have signed. Beyond the clarification of such standards, New Mexico Highlands University and the School District are not responsible for further restricting, monitoring, or controlling the communications of individuals utilizing the network. Users should not expect the files stored on district servers to always be private. Within reason, freedom of speech and access to information will be honored. The School District further believes that outside of school, parents and guardians should bear the same responsibility for such guidance as they currently exercise with such information sources such as television, telephones, movies, radio, and other potentially offensive media.
