Technology and the Internet. TECHNOLOGY Any unauthorized use of the school logo is prohibited. No students may use photos or videos containing the St. Xxxxxxx logo, student names, teacher names, or other identifying information while blogging, on Snap Chat, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, or similar social and/or networking websites. Administration has the right to check blogs, social and/or networking websites, IPod’s, WII’s, cell phones and other electronic transmissions. If these transmissions are not in compliance with our school philosophy and procedures, the administration will confiscate the device in question and determine what further consequences will be imposed. By federal law, Saint Xxxxxxx School is required to provide Internet Content filtering for all network services. Saint Xxxxxxx School maintains a content filtering system supplied by Lightspeed and the Diocesan Wide Area Network. This filter blocks most inappropriate sites from being accessed. No filtering solution is perfect, but the low rate of disciplinary incidents related to inappropriate Internet use in our schools is a testament to the high-quality filtering services in place for our school. Teachers have override capability for most categories (except CIPA material categorized by the federal guidelines) to enable teachers to make professional judgments in case an acceptable website is mistakenly blocked. With the new installation of the Wi-Fi network at Saint Xxxxxxx School, access to the school network and Internet will be filtered for all devices. Bypass access for students and all other non-faculty members will not be granted.
