The
Freeport Public Schools recognize the importance of the use of computer
technology as an integral part of the education process. In furtherance
thereof, the Freeport Public Schools have invested a tremendous amount
of time, money and effort to provide the students of the Freeport
Public Schools with access to networks on the Internet so that the
students will be able to search and download from the world wide web,
use e-mail and Netscape/Microsoft Internet Explorer.
In
consideration of the Freeport Public Schools' willingness to provide
the aforesaid access to networks on the Internet and in order to
ensure continued access, I,______________________ as parent/guardian
of _______________, and I,____________________, as student (hereinafter "Student") agree as follows:
- The Student is responsible for the proper
and ethical use of network access through the computers by following
the written procedures set up by the Freeport Public Schools,
as well as, the oral instructions given by the staff. Any actions
by the Student that might harm and computer equipment or software
or impair the effective use thereof are to be avoided.
- Prior to the Student's use of the computer
and access to the internet, the student will be required to attend
a presentation on the aspects of security and ethics involved
in use of the network.
- The Student is prohibited from allowing anyone
else to use their account name and/or password. Violation of this
rule by the Student will jeopardize the Freeport Public School's
access to the Internet and the Student will immediately lose their
right to network access.
- It is a violation of the law for the Student
to access any network files, documents, applications, etc. without
express permission by an authorized staff member and a legal signature
on the network registry.
- There are multiple computers available for
the student access. The teaching staff of the Freeport Public
Schools cannot monitor all of the information that the Student
is accessing or downloading while in the classroom, not while
the Student is away from school. The Student may encounter material
in a network/bulletin board that is considered inappropriate or
offensive (e.g. pornography, vulgar jokes, statements of belief
that some may consider immoral, etc.) The Student is responsible
for NOT pursuing material that could be considered inappropriate
or offensive. Accessing or downloading of inappropriate material
will not be tolerated by the Freeport Public Schools and will
result in the Student's loss of the privilege of using the network,
and may result in academic penalty and/or disciplinary action.
- To abide by all rules and regulations hereafter
promulgated.
I acknowledge
that I have read the above, and agree to abide by the aforesaid
rules and to be responsible for my access to networks on the Internet
and my use of the computer equipment.
