Computer/Internet
Acceptable Use Policy


• I will be polite and will not use curse words or any language on the computer that my teacher or parent would not want me to use at school.

• I will not give out my personal password to anyone and I will respect other students' work by not going into their folders, even if they may have told me their passwords.

• I will respect the school's property by handling the computer equipment appropriately.

• When I am on the Internet, I will never give to anyone my personal information (name, phone number, home address, or any other information about me, my family, or my school).

• I understand that the main purpose of using the Internet at school is to learn more about the subjects I am studying in my classroom. I will not use the Int
ernet for any other reason. For example, I will not search for a game site, when I am supposed to be looking for something in science.

• I understand that sometimes I may see a site on the Internet that has pictures or words that my teacher or parents would not want me to see. I will not try to find those sites and, if I come across one of them by accident, I will leave it as soon as I can and I will let my teacher know immediately. I will not continue to look at the inappropriate site and will not show it to others around me.

• When I am not sure whether what I am doing on the computer, or on the Internet is appropriate, I will ask the teacher in charge immediately.

• I agree that I cannot use the words or pictures I see on an Internet site without giving credit to the person who owns the site. For example, I will not copy information from the Internet and hand it in to my teacher as my own work.
