Internet Acceptable Use Policy at Harry Lee Cole School

2007/2008

At the Harry Lee Cole School we use computers to support learning and enhance instruction. Internet access through ATT Broadband cable service allows us to interact with hundreds of thousands of computers around the world.

Children at the Harry Lee Cole School do not have unsupervised access to the Internet.

Teachers and students at the Harry Lee Cole School:

Access to the Internet is a privilege and users agree to act in a responsible, considerate, ethical and legal manner. The Internet is to be used for educational purposes, defined as purposes directly related to a Harry Lee Cole School assignment, project, or activity.

The Harry Lee Cole School provides a school web page with several links to other educational web sites. Cole School staff previews these outside sites before they are linked to our site, and we review these links on a regular basis. However, because of the volatility and size of Internet resources, the school can not be responsible for all the content of these pages. We believe that children must have careful, adult supervision when working on the Internet, even when branching out from our own Home Page.

Because access to the Internet provides connections to global computer systems, users and their families must understand that the Harry Lee Cole School and its faculty can not completely control the content of information obtained from other systems, nor does it condone the use of controversial or offensive materials.

The Internet is an environment where many products and services are also advertised. The Harry Lee Cole School does not encourage or promote the use of any products or services advertised on the Internet. We are not connected in any way to these advertisers.

While there are some "controversial" areas in the use of the Internet, it is (and will be), the communication tool of our children's present and future. At Harry Lee Cole School we try to provide all students with the tools to use this exciting medium in a responsible way, while in a protected environment.
