Principal Packet Memos
Unauthorized Use and/or Abuse of Technology
Here is the Code of Conduct for the Unauthorized Use of Technology:
RULE 11
[S.B. Reg. 5-36.9, 6-62.1, and 6-64.1]
[School Board Policy 6-62 and 6-64]
Computer systems include, but are not limited to, all computers, electronic tablets, electronic readers, servers, network devices, telecommunication devices, multifunction devices, printers, scanners, peripheral equipment software, local and wide area networks, Internet access, data and digital content.
Any authorized or unauthorized use in school or out of school, of computer software, computer networks (including social networks), telecommunications, information technology, and related technologies which disrupts or interferes with the learning environment, students or staff members in any manner; or involvement in willful acts that cause physical, financial, or other harm in any manner is prohibited and may result in a recommendation for expulsion.
Any student who fails to comply with the terms of the Acceptable Use Policy (Computer Systems) (6-64)or the regulations developed by the Superintendent may lose system privileges, and students may be disciplined in accordance with the Code of Student Conduct or other School Board Policies and Division Regulations governing student discipline. Students may also be the subject of appropriate legal action for violation of this policy or implementing regulations.
A NOTE REGARDING ALLERGIES
The Department of School Leadership has asked principals to share an important safety reminder with our staff. Because many students and adults have sensitivities to fragrances, the use of air fresheners, essential oils, and similar items are prohibited in classrooms. If you have any of these items in your classroom, you will need to take them home. Thanks in advance for your adherence to this guideline. So sorry - I know how much you all love a sweet smelling room.
In our thoughts and prayers...
