ACCEPTABLE  USE  POLICY

New technologies make available exciting new learning opportunities for DeBusk Elementary School students. They also raise new issues about appropriate student behavior.  Each student is expected to behave in such a way to be a credit to himself or herself and to the community.  All students, staff members, and parents are expected to: Respect others:  Appropriate, respectful language shall be used at all times, in email messages, on web pages, in newsgroups or conference interactions. Verbal abuse, malicious and/or insensitive remarks made to any other person designed to harass, intimidate or provoke, and tasteless language are not allowed.

Respect themselves:  Students should portray themselves in ways that show self-respect. Student messages or web pages should contain the names of the authors, but not home addresses or home phone numbers.

Respect time:  Computers and networks are available to DeBusk Elementary School students for uses that contribute to student learning. Uses of computers and networks in ways that do not contribute to learning are discouraged.

Respect property : Everyone should respect both school and personal property. Destruction or theft of school or personal property (including computer files) and other destructive uses of computers and networks is not allowed and is considered a serious breach of school standards. Deletion or modification of system files without direct teacher supervision is not allowed. Unlawful copying or use of copyrighted software is also not allowed. Uses of computers and networks in ways that disrupt the use by others is not allowed. Information retrieved via computer and/or networks used in student projects should be appropriately cited.

Greene County School Board policy mandates that students and teachers follow board guidelines and have on file in their schools a signed form accepting this policy.
