TECHNOLOGY PLAN AND CODE CONDUCT

AIS West Students are required to bring their own devices (laptop, Ipad, or Tablet) to school to use in their classrooms. 

Purpose of the Policy 

This policy exists to protect and define procedures regarding the use and maintenance of the AISE Computer Systems/Networks/Equipment in line with the AISE Code of Conduct.

Purpose of Access to the Network 

Stakeholders are granted access to the network to support learning through access to information. Each network user is permitted one device on the network, the required iPad (not a mobile phone).

Privilege 

Accessing the Internet through school equipment is a privilege, not a right, and inappropriate use, including violation of this rule may result in cancellation of the privilege.

• School administrators are delegated the authority to determine appropriate and acceptable use as provided under this rule.

• Permission to access the Internet through the school network as a tool for learning will be automatic. Parents must notify the school in writing if they do not want their child to access the Internet.

Monitoring 

Administration reserves the right to review any material on user accounts for purposes of maintaining adequate file server space and monitoring appropriateness of material accessed through the network.

Security 

Notify the network manager of any suspected policy breaches. No user may utilize another user’s account for any reason. This includes, but is not limited to, the uploading or creation of computer viruses and the attempt to destroy, harm or modify data of another user.

Harassment 

Harassment (Cyber Bullying) when utilizing the Internet will result in the elimination of computer access. Cyber Bullying is defined as the use of electronic communication to bully a person, typically by sending messages of an intimidating or threatening nature.

Inappropriate Material : If inappropriate material is discovered, the staff member or student should inform their supervisor or teacher so the situation can be resolved.

Social Media 

School technology or Wi-Fi may not be used for social media in an offensive, detrimental or defaming nature. The school name and/or logo may not be used on social media without the school’s consent, and in a detrimental or defamatory manner.  

Vandalism and / or Accidental Damage 

If equipment is accidentally damaged during school use by faculty or students, it is understood that AISE will bear the cost of replacement. However, if the equipment is damaged by students due to misbehavior or by faculty during personal time off campus the individual or student is responsible for the cost of damage/replacement.

Technical Damage 

In case of technical damage, i.e., damage not caused by the individual, please notify the teacher, supervisor or principal as soon as possible so repairs can take place. AISE will bear the cost of repairs.
