Our network was made possible when Eugene voters funded our 1992 bond request to provide computers in classrooms, libraries s, and labs. It is possible that students may find material on the Internet that parents consider objectionable. District 4J's Guidelines for Accessing 4JNet prohibit access to material that is inappropriate in the school environment. Although student use of the Internet while at school will be supervised by staff, we cannot guarantee that students will not gain access to inappropriate materials. We encourage parents to have a discussion with their children about values and how they should guide student activities while using the Internet.
Parents are responsible for monitoring children's activities when they access the system from home.
Parents must specifically authorize their child's individual e-mail account by returning the 4JNet Student Account Agreement signed by both parent and child to the child's school. Please note that inappropriate use of e-mail will not be tolerated and students risk losing their accounts. The 4J Internet Guidelines Committee has the responsibility to recommend the policies, procedures, and guidelines for Internet use in the district. The committee has developed Internet Privacy Protections and Considerations for Students which presents the district's position regarding our obligation to protect student safety and to balance this with the need for open communications when using the Internet. Generally, we believe that students should not be easily identifiable from material they publish on the Internet and under no circumstances will we post any information for students whose parents have returned a form forbidding the release of directory information without the consent of the parents.
