OCS Student Code of Conduct Use of Internet and Other Instructional Technology Policy:
The Internet and other instructional technology programs are a part of the information and research services offered to the students of Opelika City Schools in every school and in every grade. This service is designated to provide access to Internet servers, instructional websites, electronic mail, and other servers within the system providing appropriate instructional software and information.
With this access to computers and people all over the world also comes the availability of material that may not be considered to be of educational value in the context of the school setting. This school system has taken many precautions to restrict access to controversial materials. However, on a global network, it is impossible to control all materials, which might be found purposefully or inadvertently.
Therefore, all students in the Opelika City School System who use the Internet will be required each year to sign an Internet Ethical Use Agreement which will be co-signed by parents or guardians.
As a result of signing this agreement, all students are to be responsible in their use of social networking and chat sites. It is the responsibility of the parent to monitor any and all off-campus internet use.
