Student Acceptable Use Policy Agreement

Greenville County Schools has developed a computer network that connects all schools to each other, the District Office, and the Internet. Additionally, students use this network to access school card catalogs in the media center. "Acceptable use" of this network is use that is consistent with the instructional goals of the District. Electronic teaching and learning tools and online access are designed to support student education. The District takes precautions by using filtering software to keep inappropriate Internet sites out of the classroom. Internet filters are not a substitute for educators diligently monitoring students’ computer and Internet use. Students will be appropriately monitored to ensure that they are complying with the school’s acceptable use policy (AUP) and other school rules. If you, the student, break "acceptable use" rules, you may lose the privilege to use both classroom computers and/or the Internet. Further disciplinary and/or legal action may be taken at the discretion of the school administration.

Keep your password secret – You will be held responsible for all computer activities associated with your password. For example, if you share your password with your friend and he/she signs on as you and breaks one of the rules outlined above, you may be held responsible.
All online communication must be polite and not threatening or offensive in any way – The District has the right to review any email sent or received using District equipment. Remember that even if you delete the email, there is a record of its content on file at the District.
