2013-14 Student/Parent Handbook - Nash-Rocky Mount Schools

11. Employees/students are responsible for constantly monitoring postings and
comments to social media sites, and for deleting postings that do not adhere
to our policies.
12. Faculty/staff/students identifying themselves as a member of NRMS, they are
in no way communicating on the behalf of the school district. Any
communications are representative of their individual personal views and
opinions, not that of NRMS.
All staff and students must adhere to Digital Citizenship which is the norms of
appropriate, responsible behavior with regard to all technology use.
1. Digital communication. Our school system promotes appropriate
communication between students, faculty, and administrators.
2. Digital literacy. Students can learn to navigate online communication and use
them to enhance their academic experiences.
3. Digital etiquette. NRMS is a highly accountable system that we monitor to
ensure that the student’s behavior is appropriate. If online misconduct, such
as cyber bullying, occurs, the school will take a quick and redemptive approach
to discipline, promoting responsible online activity.
4. Digital rights and responsibilities. By extending the privilege to students to
access and participate in social networking, our system can directly teach
students about rights and responsibilities they have as digital citizens.
5. Digital health and wellness. With time stamps, teachers and administrators
can monitor student posts as well as the frequency and scope.
6. Digital security. Due to the highly monitored and accountable nature of our
social network, teachers and administrators have an ongoing responsibility to
ensure that students are not posting material that will leave them vulnerable to
online attacks.
VIOLATION OF THIS POLICY WILL LEAD TO DISCIPLINARY ACTION AND POSSIBLE
TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT FOR THE EMPLOYEE AND SUSPENSION OR
EXPULSION FOR THE STUDENT.
