Acceptable uses of the Internet are activities which support learning, collaborative work, and teaching. While another function of the Internet is entertainment and limited self-discovery, because we have limited resources available at this time, that is not an aspect that we encourage students to participate in while at school. Playing on-line games or accessing chat rooms or other Internet resources which have little learning potential is discouraged. Students and teachers are particularily encouraged to share in the development of on-line learning activities that can be placed on our county server and made available and shared by all learners. The District cannot assure the rights of privacy on district computer systems.
Parents have the right at any time to request to see the contents of their student's computer files.
