expect you to treat others with respect and kindness at all times things like hateful harassing messages or emails discriminatory or offensive remarks or bullying or antisocial behaviors not be tolerated students who witnessed these behaviors can report them parents or staff members our school the process in place to address these things effectively and efficiently as I mentioned earlier we are always monitoring what you are doing on the internet filtering system even students are not permitted to search retrieve save circulate or display 8 based offenses sexually based information or weapons there are times when you may be asked to do some research about specific top that might come close to some of these things for instance a student may get caught in the filtering system when researching the Civil Rights Movement is a teacher gives you permission to do this research for an assignment you will not I repeat you will not get in trouble for waiting disagreement we expect all of the Mist it has to be good digital citizen this means maintaining a positive social Network image we know that many of you utilize social networks we ask that you maintain a positive attitude when you use these and that your use of them does not negatively impact the school learning environment our students teachers or administrators honesty is always the best policy always make sure that you are yourself online it is against our district policy to spoof or pretend to be someone that you are not when you are online it doesn't matter whether you are using email making a fake account on Instagram or posting a video in someone else's name always be yourself attempting to get beyond our district filters definitely against our rules and policies you should not attempt to install illegal software on your laptop this includes file sharing shareware and three Square as most of you already know destroying school property is not allowed this applies to technology as well when you are issued your laptop you are taking home screen property it is your job to take care of it while it's at home you are not permitted to destroy any of the files on the computer either just includes the settings on the laptop as well we also ask that you not use personal electronic in conjunction with your school device for instant memory storage devices should not be used without permission from school personnel hopefully some of you may remember when your teachers have told you that you can't copy the words directly from the book and claim them as your own the same thing applies to the things written online whether this includes the word or even a song or movie you can not copy it and claim it as your own this is what we talked about earlier as copyright violation teachers tend to be really good at catching this so just don't do it the safety and well-being of our students is our number one priority for this reason students should not post personal information about themselves online if you or anyone you know ever feel to an experience online they should notify a parent or School staff member immediately you are about to take a laptop computer can you believe it you

take care of them physically Susan should make sure that they do the following things at a minimum we ask that parents help remind him as well as parents just a little hint to Aziz kiddos take-home these devices they say that you have to remind the average middle schoolers 7 times before they actually remember to do that you might already know that when you tell him to clean their room right anyway here's some things. wash your hands before using your laptop this means that you cannot eat a piece of the Colonel's chicken and then jump online to write your English paper just saying also make sure your laptop is on a flat surface what is it if you have a bunch of laundry on your bed that is not a flat surface to put your laptop also use a clean dry cloth to clean the screen do not
