RIVERSIDE BROOKFIELD HIGH SCHOOL
Technology at Riverside Brookfield High School is a tool to enhance learning experiences. Users will broaden their global horizons and discover a vast scope of information and experience. Appropriate interaction with the tools of high technology learning will afford the student the best possible opportunity to develop the job readiness and learning skills required by changing business and educational communities Our goal in providing technologies is to promote a comprehensive education in a well equipped environment as indicated in the District Mission Statement. This policy is intended to support educational excellence by facilitating resources sharing, innovation, and communication. With access to computers and to people all over the world also comes the availability of material that may not be considered to be of educational value in the context of the school setting. On a dynamic global network it is impossible to control access to all materials or to predict what materials might be appropriate for specific school assignments. Riverside Brookfield High School will take the reasonable precautions necessary to restrict access to controversial materials. Appropriate usage and operation of the network relies upon the proper conduct of the end users who must adhere to strict guidelines. These guidelines are provided here so that you are aware of the responsibilities you are about to acquire. In general these guidelines require efficient, ethical, and legal utilization of the network resources. Our goal is to maintain a working and educationally-focused network of resources. If a Riverside Brookfield High School user violates any of these provisions, his or her account may be terminated, future access may be denied, and legal action may be pursued. The signatures on the Technology Acceptable Use Agreement are indication that the party (parties) who signed has (have) read the Acceptable Use Guidelines carefully, understand(s) their significance, and agreed to adhere to them. All users must have a valid and complete Technology Acceptable Use Agreement on file prior to access to technology.
