Internet Use Policy

The Board of Education, in its efforts to increase students’ awareness and understanding of computer technology within the Seymour schools, is committed to providing access to the Internet to enhance educational programming. The Internet offers vast, diverse, and unique resources to both students and teachers, facilitating resource sharing, innovation, and communication.

The use of the Internet is a privilege, not a right. Any user who violates this policy will, at a minimum, have their access to the computer network and Internet terminated, and the school district may refuse to reinstate access for the remainder of the student's enrollment. A violation occurs if a user engages in prohibited actions or fails to report violations by others. Additionally, a violation occurs if a user allows another individual to use their account or password to access the computer network and Internet, including those whose access has been denied or terminated. The school district may also impose other disciplinary actions in these circumstances.

Special Note: Student Google accounts will be deactivated one week after graduation. All content in these accounts (Drive, Classroom, etc.) will be deleted. Students wishing to retain any content must save it to another medium before this deadline. Please ensure that students are aware of this policy.

By signing the Handbook Agreement form, students and parents acknowledge and accept the expectations outlined in this Internet Use Policy.
