Acceptable Use Policy

Beltsville Adventist School seeks to nurture the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual growth of all students. Similarly, we work to protect students from content and experiences that do not match our Christian values.  In order to protect our students, an acceptable use policy, that covers all computer equipment, internet usage and software that is used at BAS, is reviewed with students in grades 3-8. Students and parents are expected to sign the acceptable use policy in order to utilize any computers at BAS. 

Electronic equipment (such as, but not limited to iPads, video games) is not permitted at BAS or on school sponsored trips. Electronic equipment found at school will be confiscated and returned to the parent at the end of the school year. 

The use of any digital technology or other device to send, disseminate, or forward any image containing sexually explicit photos, videos, or other imagery of another person or the distribution by such means of any indecent language or material, is strictly forbidden and shall be punishable by expulsion.
