Students are responsible for good behavior on school computer networks, just as they are in school or while attending school-sponsored activites. General school rules for behavior and communication apply. The network is provided for the students to conduct research and communicate with others. Independent access to the network services is provided to students who agree to act in a considerate and responsible manner and who have parental/guardian permission. Access is a privilege, not a right, and such access entails responsibility. During school, teachers will guide students towards appropriate materials. Outside of school, that responsibility shifts to parents/guardians. Individual users of the district computer networks are responsible for their behavior and communications over the networks. It is presumed that users will comply with district standards and will honor the agreements they have signed. The following are not permitted: Sending or displaying offensive messages or pictures - Using obscene language - Harassing, insulting, or attacking others - Damaging computers, computer systems, or computer networks - Violating copyright laws- Using others' passwords - Trespassing on others' folders, work, or files - Intentionally wasting limited resources - Employing the network for commercial purposes. The following sanctions may be employed for students who misuse the network: Loss of access - Additional disciplinary action in line with existing practice regarding inappropiate language or behavior - Involvement of law enforcement agencies
