School computers, printers, and the internet are tools provided for your work as an employee of CMS. To that end, please be aware that a monitoring plan is in place to check websites visited, documents created and printed, etc. Please make sure all work is school appropriate! (cross posted)
No videos may be shown unless checked out from our Media Center or purchased by our school as part of our instructional program. There must be an instructional tie-in for all videos shown. Due to copyright laws, no other videos may be shown (i.e., RedBox, TV movies). If you have questions, please consult an administrator. Failure to follow these guidelines will be considered a serious breach of school and district policy.
We have a few videos in our library that are Rated PG / PG-13. Parental permission slips must be obtained before permission will be given to release the video to be shown. Permission slips are available in the media center. Teachers can send home a comprehensive permission slip that lists the titles of several movies or movie clips to be shown throughout the year.
All teachers are required to create and maintain a CMS website. This is one of our first steps in communicating with stakeholders and increasing connectivity between students and their education. In the age of electronic capability, it is appropriate that students and parents have information about the curriculum being taught, notes from class, if appropriate, upcoming dates for tests, quizzes, etc. at their finger-tips. Personalize your website by adding your contact information, course overview / Course Prospectus, class work, homework, student expectations, outside links to tutorials, if applicable, etc. Avoid requiring students to print lengthy assignments from the website as that creates an equity issue.
