The Board of Education, in its efforts to increase pupils’ awareness and understanding of computer technology within the Seymour schools, is committed to provide accessibility to the Internet for enhancement of its educational programming.  The Internet offers vast, diverse, and unique resources to both students and teachers.  Its availability to the pupils and professional staff will facilitate resource sharing, innovation and communication.

The use of the Internet is a privilege, not a right.  A user who violates this policy, shall, at a minimum, have his or her access to the computer network and Internet terminated, which the school district may refuse to reinstate for the remainder of the student’s enrollment in the school district.  A user violates this policy by his/her own action or by failing to report any violations by other users that come to the attention of the user.  Further, a user violates this policy if he or she permits another to use his or her account or password to access the computer network and Internet, including any user whose access has been denied or terminated.  The school district may also take other disciplinary action in such circumstances.

Special Note: Student Google accounts will cease to function one week after graduation.  The student content in those accounts (Drive, Classroom, etc…) will be deleted and must be saved on another medium prior to that date if the student wishes to keep it.  Please make sure your students know this.
