2023 Internet Access and Rules POLICY

Internet access is available to students and teachers in our school. We are very pleased to bring this access to WCCA and believe the Internet offers vast, diverse, and unique resources to both students and teachers. Our goal in providing this service to teachers and students is to promote educational
excellence in schools by facilitating resource sharing, innovation, and communication.

The use of the Internet is a privilege, not a right, and inappropriate use will result in a cancellation of those privileges. The administration will deem what is inappropriate use, and their decision is final. The faculty and staff may request the administration to revoke a student’s privileges. Parents also have the option to revoke a child’s access to the Internet.

The following guidelines are provided so everyone is aware of the rules that will be enforced while using the Internet. If a student violates any of these provisions, he or she will be denied future access or possibly suspended if deemed necessary.

 NO STUDENT IS TO ACCESS THE INTERNET WITHOUT A TEACHER PRESENT.
 DO NOT VANDALIZE INPUT DEVICES, COMPUTERS, SOFTWARE, OR NETWORK DEVICES.
 NO ACCESS OF SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES (FACEBOOK, MYSPACE, ETC.) OR PERSONAL E-MAIL WILL BE PERMITTED AT SCHOOL.
 DO NOT DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM YOUR TEACHER.
 DO NOT USE THE NETWORK FOR ANY ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES.
 DO NOT DELIBERATELY SPREAD COMPUTER VIRUSES.
 USE APPROPRIATE LANGUAGE.
 AVOID OFFENSIVE OR INFLAMMATORY SPEECH.
 BE AWARE THAT GIVING OUT PERSONAL INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET CAN BE DANGEROUS.
 DO NOT USE A SCHOOL ACCOUNT TO POST ANONYMOUS OR FALSE INFORMATION.
 DO NOT INTENTIONALLY SEARCH FOR, VIEW, AND/OR DISTRIBUTE INAPPROPRIATE MATERIAL.
 DO NOT POST PICTURES OR WRITE DEROGATORY REMARKS ABOUT ANY STUDENT, FACULTY MEMBER, COACH, HEADMASTER, OR OTHER SUPPORT PERSONNEL AT WCCA OR ANYONE ELSE ON THE INTERNET (FACEBOOK, MYSPACE, ETC. FOR EXAMPLE) OR CELL PHONE.

I have read and understand the attached guidelines for using the Internet at WCCA. I also understand that this access is designed for educational purposes and that the school personnel will make every effort to properly supervise my child’s use of the network services. I understand that since it is technically impossible for WCCA to restrict access to ALL controversial materials, I will not hold them responsible for any materials acquired on the network. *

I hereby give permission for my child to have individual Internet access.I do not wish my child to have individual access to the Internet.
