Administrative Guidelines
 

7540.03 - ACCEPTABLE USE AGREEMENT FOR TECHNOLOGY RESOURCES AND INTERNET ACCESS FOR NEW RICHMOND K-12 STUDENTS

The use of School District of New Richmond technology is a privilege, not a right.

New Richmond Schools believe that all students should have access to technology when they act in a responsible, efficient courteous and legal manner. Internet access and other online services, as well as various forms of technology equipment, offers students and teachers a multitude of global resources. Our goal in providing these resources is to enhance the educational development of our students.

In compliance with the Child Internet Protection Act (CIPA), the District utilizes filtering systems and software, making every attempt to block inappropriate sites for students. Students are required to notify an adult if they access a site that is inappropriate so that the site can be blocked from future use.

All students using District technology resources must have a signed Acceptable Use Agreement on file prior to being provided access to the school District technology resources, including the Internet. This signed agreement indicates that the user agrees to follow the District procedures as outlined in the student handbook, as well as these guidelines set up for students. Parents have the right to withdraw their permission at any time.

A.

To conduct myself in a manner consistent with other expected school behavior and District policies while using technology resources.
