All elementary students in Grades K-2 are asked to take time with their parents to read and understand the following guidelines for acceptable use of technology resources at school. We ask every student and their parents to sign a statement of acceptable use and return it to their teacher.
1. I will use computers, keyboards, digital cameras, printers, and scanners only with the supervision and permission of an adult.
2. I will use all equipment and networks carefully to avoid any damage or change to the computer system or its software.
3. I will not change, delete, add to, or download any software.
4. I will respect the work and files of others and agree not to open, copy, change, delete, or damage files or folders that are not mine.
5. I will keep my password and login name private and will only use my own accounts.
6. I will never give out personal information about myself (full name, address, phone number, photo) over the Internet.
7. I agree not to use instant messaging or chat rooms at school.
8. I will not subscribe to or sign up for game sites, e-mail, or chat rooms without the permission of an adult.
The use of computers and other technology tools is a privilege that comes with special responsibilities. If a student does not follow the above guidelines, there will be consequences over a period of several weeks that will restrict that student’s use of computers and other equipment at school. If a student repeatedly shows difficulty in being a responsible user, these restrictions will be extended.
