APPENDIX A ACCEPTANCE OF LITTLEFORK-BIG FALLS SCHOOL DISTRICT COMPUTING AND INTERNET SAFETY POLICIES Please review the attached packet, sign the agreement, and return it to your home room teacher. Computer access and iPad’s will not be issued to students until this form has been signed and returned. To protect the integrity of the computer system against unauthorized or improper use, and to protect authorized users from the effects of unauthorized improper usage of the system, the District reserves the rights to: limit or restrict any account holder’s usage, inspect, copy, remove or alter any data, file, or system resources which may undermine the authorized use of that system with or without notice to the user. The District reserves the right to periodically check the system and any other rights necessary to protect the District computing facilities. The District disclaims responsibility for loss of data or interference with files resulting from its efforts to maintain the privacy and security of the District’s computer facilities. Users of the District facilities are required to comply with the District’s Computing Policy, and by using the system, the user agrees to comply with and be subject to the conditions of computer use. The District reserves the right to amend this policy at any time with or without notice. I have read and fully understand the Computing and Internet Safety Policies set forth by the District and agree to use District computing facilities in accordance with said policies. I acknowledge the right of the management of the computer labs and facilities to inspect, when necessary as a function of responsible system management, all files stored on the District computing facilities. I understand that upon violation of the terms of this agreement, the District reserves the right to deny future computing privileges at all District locations. I understand that I may also be subject to further disciplinary action by staff, the Technology Director, Dean of Students and/or Superintendent, as well as legal action by the owners and licensers of proprietary software for violation of copyright laws and license agreements. If a student opts out of having an iPad, a letter indicating this will need to be signed by the parent(s)/guardian(s), stating the reason(s) why. Please understand that the student is still responsible for meeting all course requirements. Access to technology in the Littlefork-Big Falls School District has been established for educational purposes. The use of the Littlefork-Big Falls School District’s electronic technologies is a valued resource to our community. All electronic technologies must be used in support of the educational program of the District. This access may be revoked at any time for abusive or inappropriate conduct related to the use of electronic technologies. Failure to comply with the District’s Policies or the guidelines stated in this document for care and use of the iPad may result in the loss of privilege to take the iPad home or use the iPad in general. ***Please note: Content supervision outside of normal school hours is applied by the district but it is ultimately the responsibility of the parent or guardian to monitor their children’s internet use. I accept the responsibility for the content my child views outside of normal school hours. The iPad is the property of Littlefork-Big Falls Public Schools and as a result may be seized and reviewed at any time. The student should have NO expectation of privacy for materials found on an iPad. I have read all the policies and guidelines in the Littlefork-Big Falls Public Schools Computer and Internet Policies document and understand my responsibilities as a student.
