All students that will be using the Internet in their classwork must have a signed district
agreement on file with the district or their business/marketing teacher. This agreement
must have all required signatures before students will be assigned a computer account
by the district. If a student hasn’t already been issued a district computer account,
please sign and turn in the required form. Please note that this process may take some
time and the student may fall behind in class as a result.
7.
Parents/Guardians should understand and agree that if students are NOT allowed to use
the Internet within their business/marketing curriculum, and access it anyway, there is no
liability on the part of the instructor. The Business/ Marketing Department takes this
issue very seriously and tries to monitor student access to the Internet as much as
possible. Nevertheless, it is NOT possible or feasible for us to be able to monitor all
students at all times.

Students will not go into any unauthorized software including games, personal e-mail or
Skyward. Students who access the Internet (including Skyward or personal e-mail
accounts) when it is not part of their course work will be immediately dropped from the

Students that use the Internet inappropriately (when it is allowed as part of their course
work) will incur the following consequences:

immediately removed from their business/marketing course. Please refer to the
district Internet policy for what is deemed to be an inappropriate site.

Students who "surf the net" and access sites that are not part of their course
work (including Skyward, personal e-mail, chat rooms or social networking sites
such as Face Book, Twitter, etc.) will be assigned a project on a related topic.
Failure to complete the project by the due date given by the instructor will result
in a full grade drop. Please be advised that teachers will be checking computers
in the business/marketing labs for sites that have been accessed on the Internet.

with the computer console. If this is done, the student will be assessed the replacement

equipment will replace the equipment. Students who damage any part of the network or
software will be removed from the class.
