Internet Safety Guidelines. All staff, students and parents should be aware of the potential dangers that the use of the internet may bring. These are some example guidelines to ensure student safety when using the internet: All students should have adult supervision when using the internet. Users should not reveal personal information about themselves or others on the internet. Students should not place photos of themselves or others on the internet. Users should never meet with a person or persons they have met only on the internet. The purpose of PVUSD’s Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) is to comply with the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) by preventing unlawful and malicious activities by users on the PVUSD network, and securing confidential information from unauthorized access. The use of the PVUSD network is a privilege, not a right. All students will submit a signed and completed AUP every academic year to their site’s administration before using District computers and network. Staff members must sign an AUP, which will be kept on file at their site, before using District computers and network. All users, with or without a signed AUP must comply with every aspect of this policy. Any violation of this AUP may result in disciplinary and/or criminal action. Users are expected to report any security problems or misuse of district technology. The District utilizes an internet filter to block access to content that is obscene, pornographic, or detrimental in general. The District reserves the right to monitor users’ network activities. Therefore, users should have no expectation of privacy concerning the use of the PVUSD network. This includes, but is not limited to, all electronic communication such as e‐mail, chatting, blogging, etc.
Internet Safety Guidelines. Never reveal personal information such as last name, address, telephone number, parents’ work address/telephone number, or the name and location of my school without parent permission. • Inform a responsible adult if any information is accessed that makes me feel uncomfortable. • Never agree to get together with someone I may meet online. • Never send anyone a personal photograph. • Do not respond to messages that are mean or cause uncomfortable feelings. I agree to pay any costs of repair to hardware and/or software that my child may damage through misuse or violation of District policy or regulation. (We ask parents to assist us in training students to help us care for this very expensive equipment. Our desire is to provide the very best our district resources can provide.) Should my child violate any aspect of the policy, I understand and agree that my child could lose computer use privileges for a designated period of time. I give permission for my child use electronic equipment (including the Internet) at school. I will assist the school district in supporting the policies and procedures by helping my child learn the proper skills and etiquette when using the computer.
Internet Safety Guidelines. 1. The student should never give out his or her name to anyone on the Internet.
