Computers are used to support learning and to enhance instruction.  
  Computer networks allow people to interact with many computers.  The 
  Internet, a network of networks, allows people to interact with hundreds 
  of thousands of networks and computers.  It is the Santa Monica-Malibu 
  Unified School District's policy that all computers used through 
  District networks be used in a responsible, efficient, ethical, and 
  legal manner.  Failure to adhere to the policy and guidelines below, 
  could  result in the revocation of access privileges and other 
  disciplinary measures up to and including suspension or expulsion from 
  school.

  GUIDELINES:

  APPROPRIATE, RESPECTFUL LANGUAGE

  Remember that you are a representative of your school and district when 
  you are on-line.  Always use language that you know is appropriate and 
  respectful in your messages.  Never send, or encourage others to send 
  messages that are not polite or contain abusive or profane language.

  PRIVACY

  Do not send any message that includes personal information such as home 
  address or phone number for yourself or any other person.  Report to 
  your teacher any person who asks for personal information.  Never share 
  your password with anyone.

  VANDALISM

  Never move, delete, or trash any applications or files that are not 
  yours.  Do not damage or misuse the equipment.

  LEGALITY

  Do not use the Internet for illegal purposes or engage in any illegal 
  activities through the use of the computer or networks.  This includes 
  sending or receiving copyrighted materials without permission.


  Since access to the Internet provides connections to other computer 
  systems located all over the world, users and parents of users who are 
  students, must understand that neither the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified 
  School District nor District staff members control the content of the 
  information available on these other systems.  Some of the information 
  available is inaccurate, controversial, and may be offensive. The Santa 
  Monica-Malibu Unified School District does not condone the use of such 
  materials.

  STUDENT AGREEMENT

  I have read the SMMUSD Telecommunications Acceptable Use Policy and 
  agree that by following the guidelines I will be allowed network access 
  including the Internet.  I understand that my network access is a 
  privilege and may be revoked if I do not follow these guidelines.

  PARENT CONSENT

  I have read the SMMUSD Telecommunications Acceptable Use Policy.  I 
  understand that network access and the Internet is a world-wide group 
  of hundreds of thousands of computer networks.  I know that the Santa 
  Monica-Malibu Unified School District does not control the content of 
  these Internet networks.  When using the Internet, I realize that 
  students may encounter material I might consider inaccurate, 
  controversial or offensive.  The Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School 
  District has my permission to give Internet access to my child.  I 
  understand that my child may keep this access as long as the guidelines 
  described in the Telecommunications Acceptable Use Policy are followed.
