Acceptable Use Policy

Student Agreement for Acceptable Use of the
District Electronic Communications System

You are being given access to the District's electronic communications system. Through this system you will be able to communicate with other schools, colleges, organizations, and people around the world through the Internet and other electronic information systems/networks. You will have access to hundreds of databases, libraries, and computer services all over the world.

With this educational opportunity comes responsibility. It is important that you read the District policy, administrative regulations and agreements form, and ask questions if you need help in understanding them. Copies of the policy and guidelines are available at all district facilities and on the District web page at http://www.tasb.org/policy/pol/private/021901/. Inappropriate system use will result in the loss of the privilege to use this educational tool.

Please note that the Internet is a network of many types of communication and information networks. It is possible that you may run across areas of adult content and some materials you (or your parents) might find objectionable. While the District will take reasonable steps to restrict access to such material, it is not possible to absolutely prevent access. It will be your responsibility to follow the rules for appropriate use.

Rules For Appropriate Use

  1. Students in grades 5-12 will be assigned an individual account, and you are responsible for not sharing the password for that account.
  2. Students in grades Pre-K through 4 will have access only through the teacher's account.
  3. The account is to be used primarily for identified educational purposes.
  4. You will be held responsible at all times for the proper use of your account, and the District may suspend or revoke your access if you violate the rules.
  5. Remember that people who receive e-mail from you with a school address might think your message represents the school's point of view.

  2. Borrowing someone's account without permission.

  4. Downloading or using copyrighted information without permission from the copyright holder.
