ICSB Internet Acceptable Use Policy

ICSB believes that the Internet has much to offer students with its wide variety of resources.  Learning to use available information technologies is a valuable life skill.  It is our goal to educate students about efficient, ethical, and appropriate use of those resources.

Thus, we will provide:

• A reliable connection that is protected by a respected content filtering solution.
• Supervision of students while they are using the internet.
• Training for students in appropriate internet use.

The student is held responsible for his/her actions whenever using the internet. The following internet activities are prohibited at ICSB:

• Using the network for financial transactions or purchasing online items, unless approved by a staff member
• Illegal activity, including hacking into private networks, distributing malicious software, distributing copyrighted materials and/or logging network data
• Accessing inappropriate websites including sites containing pornography, extreme violence, and/or other offensive materials
• Changing settings on school equipment to degrade or disrupt the equipment or system performance.
• Accessing another person’s school account without their knowledge and permission

The students and his/her parents must understand that the student uses the internet at his/her own risk.  Thus, it is the student (not ICSB) who is responsible for:

• Student access of inappropriate or unreliable internet content.
• Costs students incur if they request a product or service for a fee.
• Illegal activities
• Unauthorized use of the school’s internet access facility or the failure of the student to comply with the policy.
