INTERNET ACCESS LETTER TO PARENTS
On-Line Resources Access Restriction/Denial Form for Students
On-line resources 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. Although students will often 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. Consequently, some students might encounter information that may not be of educational value to them.
Morning Sun students will be granted access to on-line resources (Internet) until the parent has submitted this form to the student's principal. Morning Sun uses a filtering service provided by BESS which blocks access to inappropriate sites. Morning Sun teachers and staff make every attempt to ensure students use the Internet appropriately by teaching appropriate use and monitoring student use.
Parents can be assured that any violation of the provisions will result in the appropriate discipline as outlined in the "Student Violations; Consequences and Notifications" policy. Parents should also understand that they may be held responsible for any "Unauthorized Costs" incurred by a student while using the Internet.
Alternative assignments will be made available to students who do not have access to online service due to parental denial.
