"e are pleased to offer students of the Todd County Public Schools access to the
district computer network for electronic mail and the 4nternet. To gain access
to e!mail and the 4nternet, all students under the age of (D must agree to the
following terms and sign below. Students (D and over may sign their own
names.
+ccess to e!mail and the 4nternet will enable students to explore thousands of
libraries, databases, and bulletin boards while exchanging messages with
4nternet users throughout the world. ,amilies should be warned that some
material accessible via the 4nternet might contain items that are illegal,
defamatory, inaccurate, or potentially offensive to some people, or may reuire
the use of a credit card. "hile our intent is to make 4nternet access available
to further educational goals and obIectives, students may find ways to access
other materials as well. "e believe that the benefits to students from access to
the 4nternet, in the form of information resources and opportunities for
collaborations, exceed any disadvantages. 2ltimately, parents and guardians
of minors are responsible for setting and conveying the standards that their
children should follow when using media and information sources, and to that
end, the Todd County Public Schools support and respect each family6s right to
decide whether or not to apply for access.
(. Students are responsible for good behavior on school computer networks Iust as
they are in the classroom. Communications on the network are often public in
nature. The network is provided for students to conduct research and
communicate with others. +ccess to network services is given to students who
agree to act in a responsible manner. Parent permission is reuired and access is
a privilege, not a right.
*. 4ndividual users of the district computer networks are responsible for their
behavior and communications over those networks. 4t is presumed that users
will comply with district standards and will honor the agreements they have
signed. #eyond the clarification of such standards, the district is not responsible
for restricting, monitoring or controlling the communications of individuals
using the network.

7. .etwork storage areas may be treated like school lockers. .etwork
administrators may review files and communications to maintain system
integrity and ensure that users are using the system responsibly. 2sers should
not expect that files stored on district servers will always be private. 4mportant
items should not be stored solely on a fixed disk, as there is always potential
loss. +lso, the district may erase or delete data if storage space is needed for
instructional or network uses.
9. "ithin reason, freedom of speech and access to information will be honored.
$uring school hours, teachers of younger students will guide them toward
