Chandler Unified School District #80
Acceptable Use Agreement for BashaElementary School
Computers, Internet, Library Media, and All Other Technology
Please read this document carefully before signing.
We are pleased to bring to the students of the ChandlerSchool District, access to various technologies and the Internet. Access to these technologies offers an abundance of resources such as thousands of libraries, databases, and bulletin boards to both students and teachers. The district goal in providing this service is to promote excellence in our schools by facilitating resource sharing, innovation, and communication.
ChandlerSchool District has taken precautions to restrict access to controversial Internet materials. However, it is impossible to control all materials on a global network and industrious users may discover such materials. We believe that the benefits to students to further educational goals and objectives via access to the Internet far exceed any disadvantages. Ultimately, parents and guardians of minors are responsible for setting and conveying the standards that their children should follow when using media and information sources. To that end, the ChandlerUnifiedSchool District supports and respects each family's right to decide whether or not to participate.
Teachers and appropriate personnel will supervise all network activities, including Internet and E-mail. Examples of these include; E-mail penpals: experts, other classroom students (only with teacher supervision and guidance), Research major information sources: Newspapers, Magazines, U.S. Congress, U. S. Weather Service, Library of Congress, etc., Conversation: Video conferencing with distant classrooms, professional experts, technical assistance.
