Madison Public Schools Network Use Agreement

Grades K-3

The use of computers in school is a privilege, not a right. I understand that my child’s behavior and language are to follow the same rules followed in class and school. Failure to follow the rules below may result in the loss of this privilege. My child agrees to the following promises:

1. My child will be a good digital citizen.
2. My child will use school computers only to do school work, as explained by the teacher and not for any other reason.
3. My child will only save schoolwork on the school computer.
4. My child will use the Internet only with his or her teacher’s permission.
5. My child will not give any of his or her passwords to anyone else, and will not ask for, or use anyone else’s password.
6. When using the Internet, my child will not enter any personal information about themselves or anyone else, such as name, address, telephone number, or age. My child will tell the teacher if he or she is asked for personal information.
7. While using computers at school or at home:
   1. My child will be polite and considerate.
   2. My child will not bother, be mean to, frighten, threaten, tease, bully, or poke fun at anyone.
   3. My child will not use swear words or any other rude language.
   4. My child will not try to see or to send anything that says bad or mean things about anyone’s race, religion or gender.
8. If my child sees a problem with the computer, my child will tell the teacher and not try to fix it themselves.
9. My child will not:
   1. make any changes to school computers
   2. try to download or install programs on school computers
   3. damage school computers.
10. My child and I understand that computer use in school is not private; a teacher may look at my child’s work at any time.
11. My child understands these rules are important. My child promises to follow these rules and understands that if the rules are not followed, they may not be allowed to use school computers and may receive other disciplinary action. My child and I understand that inappropriate use outside of school affecting the rights of other students may result in disciplinary action as well.

PARENTS:I have read the Network Use Agreement and discussed it with my child, and I give my permission for his or her use of these resources. I understand that computer access is conditional upon adherence to the guidelines above.
