The internet can provide a vast collection of educational resources for students. It is global, making it impossible to control all information available. Because information appears, disappears, and changes constantly, it is not possible to predict or control what students may locate 100% of the time. In an effort to prevent access to such material, the Red Oak Community School District does use content filtering software designed to block access to undesirable material. Although students will usually be under staff supervision while on the network, it is not possible to always monitor individual students and what they are accessing on the network. Therefore, some students might access information that is inappropriate or that may not be of educational value to them. As a consequence of knowingly accessing and/or downloading inappropriate/objectionable items or sending messages with vulgar/abusive/threatening language, students shall be disciplined. The district’s complete Internet Appropriate Use Policy and Violation Notification Form can be found in the student handbook. Please decide if you would like your child to be granted internet access while a student at Red Oak Community School District.
I understand that by signing this form, I am permitting my child access the internet for educational purposes. This permission will remain in force until such time as I notify the school district that I no longer want my child to access the internet. I understand that my child can and will be disciplined for inappropriate use of the internet as defined in the student handbook. I also agree to be responsible for any unauthorized costs incurred by my child while using the internet.
