Acceptable Use Policy |
|
This website outlines a wide variety of uses that USD #410 are deemed appropriate. Academic progress for all students should be evident with the increased availability of the Internet and other technological tools. There are obvious uses for the Internet that are anti-social. Examples of inappropriate uses include degrading individuals, encouraging criminal thought, viewing of pornography and negative communication with others. These types of behaviors may result in short term or long term loss of the laptop and/or the school’s computer network. A student will not be issued the laptop computer until after the student and the parents of the student attend an information meeting where the district’s acceptable use policy and laptop computer care contract are signed to assure understanding of how the computer will be used.

Safety Tips: The following safety tips for parents and students are provided by NetSmartz. A more comprehensive list may be found by clicking on the hotlink provided. The Federal Bureau of Investigation also has a parent guide to Internet safety that may be downloaded as a PDF file by clicking here.
¨ Clear, simple, easy-to-read house rules should be posted on or near where the computer is used. Create your won computer rules or print the Internet safety pledge. The pledge can be signed by adults and children and should be periodically reviewed.
¨ Always read a web site’s privacy policy before giving any personal information. Also make sure that a web site offers a secure connection before giving credit-card information.
¨ Web sites for children are not permitted to request personal information without a parent’s permission. Talk to your children about what personal information is and why you should never give it to people online.
¨ If children use chat or e-mail, talk to them about never meeting in person with anyone they first “met” online.
¨ Talk to children about not responding to offensive or dangerous e-mail, chat, or other communications. Report any such communication to local law enforcement. Do not delete the offensive or dangerous e-mail; turn off the monitor, and contact local law enforcement.
¨ Keep the computer in the family room or another open area of your home.
¨ Let children show you what they can do online, and visit their favorite sites.
¨ Have children use child-friendly search engines when completing homework.
¨ Know who children are exchanging e-mail with, and only let them use chat areas where you can supervise. NetSmartz recommends limiting chat room access to child-friendly chat sites.
¨ Be aware of any other computers your child may be using.
¨ Children should not complete a profile for a service provider and children’s screen names should be nondescript so as not to identify that the user is a child.
¨ If you suspect online “stalking” or sexual exploitation of a child, report it to your local law-enforcement agency. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) has a system for identifying online predators and child pornographers and contributing to law-enforcement investigations. It’s called CyberTipline® . Leads forwarded to the site will be acknowledged and shared with the appropriate law-enforcement agency for investigation.
