Acceptable Computer Use Policy
Computers, Network, and the Internet
Graystone Academy Charter School is pleased to be able to offer students access to our computer network and the Internet. All students must obtain parental permission as verified by the signatures below on the permission form.
The intended purpose of the GACS network and access to the Internet is to promote educational research and enhance learning. While the school's intent is to make Internet access available to further educational goals and objectives, students may find ways to access other materials as well. It is the school's position that the benefits to students in the form of information resources and opportunities for collaboration exceed the potential disadvantages. Access to the Internet enables students to explore thousands of libraries, databases and bulletin boards, while exchanging messages with Internet users throughout the world.
It is in the interest of providing clear guidelines for the use of the GACS network and the
Internet by parents, students, and staff that we have developed the following Acceptable Use Policy.
Graystone Academy Charter School Rights and Responsibilities
1. GACS reserves the right to monitor all activity on the Network.
2. GACS reserves the right to block any material on the Internet.
3. Security on the Network is a high priority. The Chief Administrative Officer or designee shall establish procedures which will maximize the computer system security.
4. No warranties are made or given with respect to any service, any information, or any software contained within the Network.
5. Opinions, advice, services and all other information expressed by students, staff, information providers, service providers or other third party personnel on the Network provided by GACS are those of the individual and do not represent the position of the Graystone Academy Charter School.
