There is much responsibility that comes with using the Internet and District #225 has developed a policy for acceptable use. This policy will be enforced when the student is at school, on a school electronic device or network OR using a personal electronic device at school. Families should be aware that some material accessible via the Internet might contain items that are illegal, defamatory, inaccurate, or potentially offensive to some people. In addition, it is possible to purchase certain goods and services via the Internet that could result in unwanted financial obligations for which a student’s parent or guardian would be liable. This cannot be done accidentally; a student would have to disclose personal financial information to incur financial obligations. While the District’s intent is to make Internet access available in order to further the educational goals and objectives, students may find ways to access other materials as well. Although the District institutes technical methods or systems to regulate students’ Internet access; those methods do not guarantee compliance with the District’s Acceptable Use Policy. That notwithstanding, the District believes that the benefits to students of access to the Internet exceed any disadvantages. We would like to encourage you to use this as an opportunity to have a discussion with your child about your family values and your expectation about how these values should guide your student’s activities while they are on the Internet. Both the student and a parent/guardian must sign the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) before a student can access and use the internet at FCHS. Fairfield Community High School District #225 Acceptable Use Policy (2020-2021) Internet access is available to students and teachers at Fairfield Community High School.

When accessing the Internet, students will be guided to resources that have been evaluated prior to use. However, students will be encouraged to explore other educational resources to fulfill the learning objectives in the lesson. Generally, students will be protected by the content filter in our network, which excludes inappropriate content.
