We are
pleased to offer our students access to electronic email (email) and the

Students are responsible for good behavior on
school computers just as they are in a classroom
or a library. Communications of the
school's computers are public in nature. General school
rules for behavior and communication
apply. These computers are intended for instructional
and educational purposes, such as
conducting research, publishing work, etc. Access to these
computers is limited to students
whose parents have given them permission and entails student
responsibility. Disk storage
areas are treated like school lockers, therefore files and
communications may be reviewed to
maintain system
integrity and ensure that the computer
system is used properly.
Paul Junior High Public Charter
School recognizes that in the vast global community of the
Internet there is solicited and
unsolicited material, which may be inappropriate for students.
Therefore, reasonable efforts will
be made to provide guidance and monitor student use.
During school, staff will assist in
guiding students toward appropriate materials. Outside of
school, parents or guardians are
responsible for their child's appropriate use of electronic
resources. The following are not

•

business
without written consent of the head of school
