Student Responsible Use Policy
Student Responsible Use Policy
Conway School's Responsible Use Policy 2022 (RUP) is found in our School Board Policy Folder along with forms and information about student use of school district devices. The policy supports the needs of students to safely use technology for educational purposes while also providing their parents/guardians piece of mind and understanding of the district's expectations and terms of use.
The district goes to great lengths to provide students and staff protection against viruses and inappropriate/harmful content while encouraging the full use of resources for teaching & learning, such as the internet and district network. Remember, do not allow students to use your log in to access district resources or the internet.
