The Inkster Public School
Network is a way of electronically communicating with others and accessing
information. It is a privilege. As a
student in the Inkster School District, I agree to comply with
these guidelines as explained by my teacher, the school and the Director of
Technology. When using The Network, I
accept the following basic rules:
1.
I will
be safe on The Network. I will never
give out personal information about myself, like my home address and telephone
number.
2.
I will
use appropriate language on The Network.
If it is language that I cannot use with my teachers or parents (such as
swearing and threatening other people), I will not use it on The Network.
3.
I will
always treat people on-line with respect.
I will not use The Network to insult or threaten other users. I assume responsibility for the content of
messages I send on The Network.
4.
I will
respect the privacy of other users and will not make any attempts to gain
access into the private mailboxes of those users. I will not allow other users access to my
mailbox and will keep my password private.
5.
I
understand that The Network is to be used for educational use. I understand that my messages can be read by the
Superintendent, Building Administrator, System Administrator or Director of
Technology.
6.
I
understand that my computer at home is on loan and I will treat it with respect
and return it to the school when requested or when I leave the school.
7.
I will
not download any applications (games) or programs at school from the Internet
and The Network unless I am told to by a teacher or by school
administration. At home I must get
permission from my parent/guardian. Forms for this are available at the
library.
8.
I will
not add any software to the school’s computers.
9.
I will
protect myself and others by checking my disks that I use at school and home
for viruses.
10.
I
understand that the software provided to me for home use is protected under
copyright law. I agree not to copy this
software unlawfully and/or distribute any materials provided for our use. I will model and encourage ethical use of the
software among my friends, family members, and the community.
11.
I
understand that failure to follow the rules of The Network and the Internet as
explained here will result in the loss of my privileges using The Network and
the Internet. I will accept the
punishment determined by my teacher and/or by the school administration. I hereby pledge to use The Network with
respect, to have fun and to allow my fellow students to have fun as well.
