Our policy serves to ensure that actual use is in harmony with academic use. == == Teachers and counselors are encouraged to communicate with students through the District-provided e-mail and are strongly advised against using other forms of personal electronic communication with students, such as Instant Messaging or texting, this policy serves to be mutually beneficial and serves to keep communication within ethical guidelines. If the need arise were other forms of communication has to occur it should be agreed upon by teacher and parent alike and thus obtain written permission to do so from the student’s parent or guardian in advance. District employees are required to take reasonable measures to protect their personal information and reputation when using Electronic Resources or otherwise participating in activity online. It would be grounds for dismissal for any User to use any Electronic Resource to upload, post, mail, display, store, access, or transmit, any Inappropriate Material. Inappropriate Material would constitute any content, communication, or information that conflicts with any guidelines of the school District. The determining factor of whether content is considered Inappropriate does not hinge on the fact such material or content has been blocked by any filtering software used by the District. Inappropriate Material should not offend or serve to harass any group who will ultimately be exposed to such materials. ==
