Concord Middle School Website
| Electronic Communication Policy and Agreement |
September 2001
Click here to see a copy of the Electronic
Communication policy adopted by the School Committees to help insure
the safety of students with respect to the use of the school network and
Internet gateway. The purpose of this policy is to explain acceptable
use of the networks to protect the users and the schools from inappropriate
usage.
As you are aware, our students are using computers to take advantage
of the wealth of knowledge available through the World Wide Web. It is
a valuable resource and an integral part of many instructional activities.
While our elementary and middle school teachers and staff supervise students'
online experiences and the district does filter access to content that
is inappropriate for minors, we feel that parents/guardians have the ultimate
word on whether or not they would prefer their child/children participating
in these activities.
We ask that you read the enclosed policy, discuss it with your child
as appropriate, and determine whether you wish your child to have access
to the Internet. Please indicate your preference(s) on the attached user
agreement form that has been placed at the end of this packet. Sign and
return only the user agreement form to your building principal or his/her
designee. For elementary school students, this agreement will remain in
effect for the duration of the student's enrollment at the K-5 level and
will be renewed when he/she enters middle school. For middle school students,
this agreement will remain in effect for the duration of their enrollment
at the middle school and will be renewed when he/she enters high school.
Only students who have a signed user agreement on file in the principal's
office will have Internet access privileges.
We thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter.
