are expected to place a premium on the quality of use. Taking up valuable network resources to pursue frivolous ends, not consistent with the mission of Shawnee Heights School District is prohibited. All use must be consistent with the educational mission and goals of the school district. The following uses of the system are considered unacceptable: (This is not an all-inclusive list. Users acknowledge that administrators will decide what appropriate use is and may take the appropriate action set forth by district policies) 1. Users shall not use school district computers or networks for purposes of personal profit, any non-instructional, or non- administrative purpose (e.g., activities for personal profit). 2. Users shall not use a computer for unlawful purposes, such as the illegal copying or installation of software, or violation of copyright laws. 3.

Users shall not copy, change or transfer any software or documentation provided by the school district, teachers, or another student without permission from the superintendent or his designee. 7. Users shall not write, produce, generate, copy, propagate, or attempt to introduce any computer code designed to self-replicate, damage, or other wise hinder the performance of any computer’s memory, file system, or software.

Users shall not use the network while access privileges are suspended or revoked. 17. Users shall report illegal or unauthorized use of the network to the supervising teacher or the authorized technical and information services administrator. General Use and Care of the Computer 1. Users are expected to treat equipment with care and respect. The technology equipment are the property of the Shawnee Heights School District, and should be kept clean and free of marks at all times. Placing stickers, writing or drawing on, engraving or otherwise defacing the device or carrying case are not allowed and will result in loss of privileges. 2. Laptop computers and iPads can be fragile, and if they are dropped they may break. Users are advised to only use their laptop and iPad when they are on a flat, stable surface, such as a table. 3. Users should protect their laptop from extreme heat or cold. Computer equipment should never be left in a car, even if the car is locked. 4. Computers should be protected from the weather, water or other liquid, food, and pets. Students should never eat or drink while using their laptop, or use their laptop near others who are eating and drinking. 5. Heavy objects should never be placed or stacked on top of your device. This includes books, musical instruments, sports equipment, etc. 6. Any inappropriate or careless use of a computer should be reported to the principal and IT Department immediately. The use of USD 450 networks and the Internet is a privilege, not a right. Inappropriate use may result in cancellation of privileges. I understand any violation of the district guidelines may constitute school disciplinary action and/or appropriate legal action. School officials based on school policies and/or this user agreement will designate what is inappropriate use. School officials may terminate access to the Internet at any time.
I understand and will abide by the District AUA guidelines and Board policies when accessing the network and Internet.
