Code of Conduct: Appropriate Use of Computers, the Internet and E-mail
Amelia Academy recognizes that a code of conduct for our students includes student postings, interactions, and exchanges on Internet Web sites, Web pages, personal blogs and e-mail. Threats made toward any member of the school community violate the behavior we expect of our students. As well, posting comments or pictures that harass, intimidate or ridicule another is unacceptable behavior in our community. This code is in effect regardless of where the posting was originated, school, home or elsewhere.
The school reserves the right to limit access to specific Web sites through the school's network that it deems offensive or disruptive to the school environment. The overriding spirit of Amelia Academy is to show respect and support for all members of our community, including cyberspace.
Students agree that they will:
- not use a computer without permission from a teacher.
- not access the Internet without a teacher present.
- not damage a computer or harm other people or their work.
- not install shareware, freeware or any other type of software.
- not view, send or display offensive messages or pictures.
- not waste limited resources such as disk space or printing capacity.
- not trespass into another persons' folder, work, or files.
- notify a teacher immediately if, by accident, he/she encounters materials which violate these rules.
- not use a school computer to check personal e-mail and/or personal Web sites.
Students will sign the code of conduct understanding that violating these rules will result in possible loss of computer/Internet privileges, payment for damages to the computer equipment and/or punishment by the headmaster.
