Technology and Communication

Any device or computer including, but not limited to, desk phones, cell phones, tablets, laptops, desktop computers, and iPads that Levine Academy provides for your use, should only be used for school business and for students as a learning tool. These items are the property of Levine Academy. The setup and installation of all hardware, operating systems and software is the sole responsibility of the school’s IT department . Cell phones are not to be used in the classroom during instruction or while supervising children; the only exception for cell phone usage during the academic day would be for supervisor-approved school projects.

E-mail and Voice Mail

At Levine Academy electronic mail and telephone voice mail are efficient and valuable tools. They are also property of the school. In short, neither of these systems is considered to be confidential, nor should they be used to meet an employee's own personal needs. The rule of thumb when it comes to e-mail and voice mail is that employees should not say or write anything they would not want someone other than the intended receiver to hear or read. Remember that even when an e-mail or voice mail message has been deleted from a location, it is still possible to retrieve and read that message. Levine Academy reserves the right to access and read any and all information contained in computers, computer files, e-mail messages, or voice mail messages. Employees should have no expectation of privacy with regard to these communications. Employees will be in violation of the school’s discrimination and harassment policy if they send, receive, or access discriminatory, harassing, or otherwise inappropriate e-mails or voice mails.

System and Data Security

Levine Academy has established security policies to protect its computer environments. All employees granted access to the computers used by the school to conduct its business must be aware of and comply with these security standards and controls. Contact the System Administrator for the specific guidelines. Most software used in Levine Academy’s computer systems is subject to licensing agre ements that govern its use. The use of unlicensed proprietary software and the misuse of licensed software are strictly prohibited. Computer security violations are a serious matter. Failure to follow the guidelines detailed in this policy will result in corrective action and/or termination of employment and possible legal action.

Password Security

Individual employee and student passwords and logins are required to operate computers and some of their programs. These passwords and logins are to be kept confidential and may not be shared with others. It is against school policy for an employee or student to let anyone else use their login or password for the network, e-mail or any other system. The only exception is on rare occasions when a member of the IT staff may need the login or password to access or troubleshoot a software or system problem.
