Internet & Electronic Communications

Weld County School District 6 encourages students to use the Internet and electronic communications, such as email, to help them with schoolwork. Using the school computers and the Internet is a privilege, not a right. Students are expected to follow these rules:

•  Use the Internet only when the teacher has given permission.

•  Tell the teacher immediately if you have unintentionally accessed inappropriate material using the Internet or electronic communications.
•  Only use your name and password to log on, never someone else’s.
•  Keep others’ personal information private while using the Internet or electronic communications unless specifically approved by the teacher or counselor.
•  Never arrange face-to-face meetings with people met on the Internet or through electronic communications.
•  Treat technology equipment and the district network respectfully. Failure to do so will result in the cancellation of privileges and may lead to school disciplinary action or legal proceedings.
•  Only use licensed software provided by the school.
•  Do not load personal software onto the computer.

Students who do not follow this policy may lose access to school computers and face disciplinary or legal action.

This entire policy on student use of the internet and electronic communications is available at BOE policy JS
