The Drew Central School District, through a cooperative venture with the 
Arkansas Public School Computer Network, makes available to staff and 
students the global resources of the Internet, as well as the computer resources
 of our local area network on campus.  Through our computer resources, 
educators and students can communicate with others, share resources, search 
databases, and retrieve useful information.  User accounts are provided, at 
no charge to students and staff of the school district, by the System 
Administrator and are bound by the following appropriate use policy.  
Activity on the Drew Central School District computer system assumes agreement 
with the conditions of this policy.

General Policy Provisions

1.  This system is to be used for educational purposes only.  All users should 
    treat this facility with respect and recognize that access to the 
    Internet is a privilege not a right.

2.  No illegal activity is permitted.

3.  Proper courtesy should be observed at all times.

4.  Playing Multi-User Dungeons (MUDs) is not an appropriate activity.

5.  Keep your login and password private.  Users who “loan” an account or enable 
    unauthorized access will lose their account immediately.

6.  Due to the “open” nature of the Internet, no liability will be assumed  
    the Drew Central School District, any district employee, or any other 
    participant in Drew Central’s administration for the use or misuse of 
    this system.  It is the responsibility of each user to make good decisions 
    as to what information is retrieved and what is done with that 
    information.  Any student or user under the age of eighteen agrees to 
    make this policy known to his/her parents or guardians and obtain their 
    approval to use the network computer resources of the Drew Central School 
    District.

7.  Non-compliance with this policy will result in immediate removal of the 
    users account.  “Zero tolerance” will be used against any user who 
    chooses to use the system or Internet improperly.

User Responsibilities

1.  Use of network resources is recognized by the user as a privilege.

2.  The user will cooperate with the certified or designated non-certified

    e-mail and electronic on-line resources.

3.  The user is responsible for following local, state, national, and 
    international copyright, intellectual property rights, and adhering to 
    acceptable network use.

4.  The user is responsible for protecting their own network accounts and are 
    solely responsible for all actions taken while accessing and using 
    information resources.

5.  The user will work in a moral and ethical fashion that supports district 
    educational goals.

6.  The user will be responsible for adhering to the policies of other networks 
    accessed.

7.  The user will not violate the integrity of a network or computer system, 
    change its performance or intentionally make it malfunction, or add or 
    delete programs or information resources unless acting upon approved 
    authorization from the System Administrator.

8.  Student e-mail activity must be conducted within the following guidelines:

      *  E-mail should be checked regularly, and unwanted messages should be 
         deleted frequently.  Keep messages remaining in your mailbox to a

         intimidate others.
      *  Authorized district personnel reserve the right to occasionally 
         access student e-mail accounts to monitor activity.
