COMPUTER USE Students who do not comply with the school’s Acceptable Use Policy as defined in this handbook (see below) are in violation of a Fundamental Rule. For more frequently asked questions about Computers and Technology, please visit www.TaftSchool.org/academics/comp_tech.aspx. KEYS Students found using or in possession of school keys that were not legally issued to them, as well as students found in unauthorized areas of the school, are in violation of this rule. RULES & CONDUCT RECKLESS ENDANGERMENT Students may not engage in reckless acts that expose others or themselves to an obvious risk of serious injury. For instance, going out on the roofs of the school buildings is a violation of this rule. GENERAL CONDUCT Students are expected to meet their daily commitments at the school and are also expected to uphold the standards of the community. Students who repeatedly reach Disciplinary Report (see page 22) or whose general conduct is deemed unsatisfactory will not be allowed to remain at Taft. ACCEPTABLE USE OF THE TAFT NETWORK It is the general policy of the Taft School that computers and network services are to be used in a responsible, efficient, ethical, and legal manner in accordance with the mission of the school. Users of the Taft network must acknowledge their understanding of the general policy and guidelines as a condition of using the network. All users are responsible for adhering to these Taft policies and procedures for network use. Use of the network is a privilege, not a right. Failure to act in accordance with the Acceptable Use Policy as described below and published administrative procedures may result in a loss of network access, disciplinary action, or criminal penalties under applicable state and federal law. Information on observed or reported violations will be turned over to the Dean’s Office for disposition. Acceptable use of the network includes activities that support learning, teaching and communication. Students and faculty are encouraged to explore and develop new ways of using technology to support Taft teaching and learning objectives. 16 The Taft School
