Students should develop the research, information literacy, and technology skills that will allow them to be successful in the digital world. The District provides computer access and access to the Internet, digital communication and collaboration tools, and online learning spaces critical to acquiring these skills.  However, failure to adhere to district policies, procedures, and guidelines for the use of district technology resources may result in revocation or restriction of access privileges and/or disciplinary action as defined in District policy Article VIII.A.24. Electronic Devices and Acceptable Use of Technology, school electronic device policies, and these terms & conditions. Misuse or illegal activities may result in administrative consequences and/or referral to law enforcement as appropriate.

My student will:

• Follow all district and classroom policies, procedures, and guidelines when using District technology.
• Keep usernames and passwords private.
• Treat others with respect and use appropriate language in all electronic interactions.
• Immediately report to a teacher or other adult staff member if they receive an electronic communication that makes them feel uncomfortable, or if they accidentally access inappropriate content.
• Respect the work and intellectual property rights of others and not intentionally copy, damage, or delete another user’s work.
• Will properly cite sources when they use someone’s information, pictures, media, or other work in their own projects and assignments.

• Seek to gain unauthorized or inappropriate access to district technology resources.
• Search, retrieve, store, or send improper images, language, or other content.

• Users have no expectation of privacy in District technology resources.  The District reserves all rights to control its technology resources and may monitor or restrict a user’s access. The District may search any computer, mobile device, or electronic storage device that is assigned to a user or used on any district computer or network. The District may retrieve, alter, and/or delete any data created, received, or maintained by any user using district technology resources.

• Online learning spaces and communication and collaboration tools should be treated as a classroom space, and language and behavior that is not appropriate in the physical classroom is not appropriate in online spaces, no matter what time of day those spaces are accessed.
• Assignments in online learning spaces are just like any other assignment in school, and students are expected to follow all policies and procedures in the student handbook, including all policies related to cheating, plagiarism, and acceptable use of technology.
• Personal electronic devices are at an increased risk of being stolen, misplaced, or damaged, and the District is not responsible for any damage or theft of personal property.
