Acceptable Use Policies are the rights and responsibilities for students as they use the internet in the school setting. They generally list acceptable and unacceptable usage of internet resources and are guidelines that are strictly followed by school systems. Teachers may also choose to have a set of rules for their individual classrooms that govern how and when a student may use internet resources.

Make sure that your students know what is acceptable when using the internet. Remind them to follow the teacher’s rules and to always ask before they go to a webpage that the teacher has not given them permission to use. Students should always remember to be kind to others and to be respectful with what they are saying and doing online. |
Acceptable Use Policies like this one are generally made by the school district and are used by all of its schools. Students and parents must read and sign, stating that they agree to the terms of use and that understand there could potentially be consequences if the student does not follow the policy. Teachers may also send home a copy of their own classroom computer usage policy if they wish. These policies are set in place to ensure that students have a safe and productive time when it comes to using the internet. |
