• VPNs & Proxies: The use of VPNs or proxy servers to bypass school filters is strictly prohibited, as they compromise the network’s ability to protect you from cyber threats.

• Artificial Intelligence: AI tools should only be used when explicitly authorized by a teacher for specific educational purposes, please follow the Student AI Guidance Poster. Any unauthorized use of AI to generate schoolwork is considered a violation of academic integrity.

Anyone who violates the confidentiality of school computer records or who engages in behavior that is in any way destructive to the hardware or software in the system will face disciplinary action that may include expulsion from school.
