Dear Parents and Students,

It is important for our students to learn 21st Century technology skills; therefore, Internet service is used in your child’s education at Dutton Christian School.  Along with that comes the necessity for some guidelines. The technology committee, the school board and the teaching staff have formulated and agree upon the following rules. Please read and discuss them together; then sign and return this form.

The Dutton Christian School Technology acceptable use policy states that:

A. Students will use the Internet as one information source for specific assignments. Students will also continue to use other print information resources.

B. Students will use the Internet to access sites for projects that have been pre-planned by their teachers and media center staff.

C. Student use of the Internet will be supervised and electronically filtered.

D. Students who need to print information from the Internet must have pre-approval by the supervising staff.

E. Students are responsible for adhering to copyright guidelines.

F. Students are responsible for avoiding sites that are profane, obscene, or that advocate illegal acts, violence or discrimination toward other people.

G. General subject browsing, personal printing, personal e-mail, non-educational games, personal chat rooms, and downloading will not be allowed.        Students may use approved email accounts and other interactive online tools on school computers for teacher-directed coursework.

H. Use of the computer network and Internet is a privilege, not a right.  Violation of these guidelines may include the immediate loss of computer use    privileges.

We agree to these policies.
