General Information

Student Use of the Internet

Weld County School District 6 encourages students to use the Internet and electronic communications, such as email, to help them with their schoolwork. Using the school computers and the Internet is a privilege, not a right. Students have no expectation of privacy when using the school’s computers. Students shall use district computers and computer systems in a responsible, efficient, ethical, and legal manner. Students are expected to follow these rules:

Use the Internet only when the teacher has given permission.
Tell the teacher immediately if they unintentionally access inappropriate material while using the Internet or electronic communications.
Never log in with someone else’s name and password.
Never give others personal information while using the Internet or electronic communications unless specifically approved by the teacher or counselor.
Never arrange face-to-face meetings with persons met on the Internet or through electronic communications.
Not use the internet or electronic devices to bully, harass, threaten, demean, or promote violence or hatred against another person or group of persons.
Not vandalize technology equipment or the district network. This will result in cancellation of privileges and may result in school disciplinary action and/or legal action.
Only use licensed software provided by the school and not load any personal software onto the computer.

Student Email

Greeley-Evans School District 6 will provide a free email account for every student (_____@greeleyschools.org) unless parents complete an opt-out form. Students will receive training on appropriate use of email before teachers provide them with their usernames and passwords. Training will include: dealing with potential bullying, handling email from unknown senders, general email etiquette, and informing students that email messages leave a permanent digital record. Resources can be accessed at http://www.commonsensemedia.org

Acceptable use of email falls under the policy governing student use of the Internet and electronic communications. Policy JS states that no student shall access, create, transmit, retransmit, or forward material or information:

That promotes violence or advocates destruction of property including, but not limited to, access to information concerning the manufacturing or purchasing of destructive devices or weapons.

Student Use of Cell Phones and Other Electronic Communication Devices

Students may carry electronic communication devices. Electronic communication devices with cameras are prohibited in locker rooms, bathrooms, or other locations where such operation may violate the privacy rights of another person. Ordinary use of electronic communication devices in school situations disrupts and interferes with the educational process and is not acceptable. Electronic communication devices include cell phones, beepers, pagers, walkie-talkies, and any other telecommunications device that emits an audible signal, vibrates, displays a message, or otherwise summons or delivers a communication to the possessor (e.g., Blackberry, Palm Pilot, etc.). The school/district shall not be responsible for loss, theft or destruction of electronic communication devices brought onto school property.

It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that the device is turned off and out of sight during unauthorized times. Violation of this policy and/or use that violates any other district policy shall result in disciplinary measures and confiscation of the electronic communication device. Confiscated devices shall be returned to the student only after a conference with the parent/guardian, student and school personnel. Repeated offenses will be addressed in accordance with the District 6 Consequence Matrix.
