STUDENT ACCEPTABLE USE COMPUTER POLICY
Purpose of this Document
To establish a policy to promote efficient, secure, ethical and legal use of the Plymouth Regional High School’s computer information
systems. This policy applies to all students of computer information systems at Plymouth Regional High School.
Definition
The definition of “computer information systems” is any configuration of computer hardware, software and peripherals that connect
students. This includes all internal (intranet) and external (Internet) connections, as well as all of the computer hardware, operating
system software, application software, stored text and data files. This also includes electronic mail, local databases, externally
accessed databases, CD-ROM, recorded magnetic or optical media, digitized information, communication technologies and any
new technologies as they become available. Stand-alone workstations are also governed by this Policy.
Introduction
Plymouth Regional High School recognizes that computer information systems are used to support learning and to enhance
instruction. One of the goals for Plymouth Regional High School is to provide students with the privilege of using the computer
information systems and to keep the number of restrictions to a minimum while maintaining excellent service for all students. To
assist Plymouth Regional High School in achieving these objectives, students themselves must observe reasonable standards of
behavior in the use of these facilities.
Student Responsibilities
Successful operation of the computer information systems requires that all students conduct themselves in a responsible, decent,
ethical and polite manner while using the computer information systems. The student is ultimately responsible for his/her actions
while accessing the computer information systems.
Students will not respond to any illicit or suspicious activities. Students shall immediately report such activities to an appropriate
administrator, teacher or staff member, or to the school technology coordinator.
