Students should develop the research, information literacy, and technology skills that will allow them to be successful in the digital world. The District provides computer access and access to the Internet, digital communication and collaboration tools, and online learning spaces critical to acquiring these skills.  However, failure to adhere to district policies, procedures, and guidelines for the use of district technology resources or personal electronic devices may result in revocation or restriction of access privileges and/or disciplinary action as defined in District policy Article VIII.A.24. Electronic Devices and Acceptable Use of Technology, school electronic device policies, and these terms & conditions. Misuse or illegal activities may result in administrative consequences and/or referral to law enforcement as appropriate.

• Use of district technology resources, including networks, computers, mobile devices, and the Internet is a privilege, which may be denied, revoked, or restricted at any time for misuse.
• Use of personal electronic devices during non-instructional time, including smart phones and smart watches, is a privilege which is available only during specified times and may be further restricted by district or school policy or student misuse.
