Valid signatures required for permission to use the Internet. Permission is effective for the duration of the student's enrollment at Jesse Bethel High School.

By signing this Consent and Waiver, I ______________________________ (print name) and my parent(s) or guardian(s) agree to abide by its terms and conditions. We realize that network access is provided to students to further educational goals and objectives, and agree that student use shall be legal, efficient, and consistent with school purposes and with general standards of decency. In addition, students are expected to show consideration and respect for other users communicating on-line, as well as respect for equipment and school property.

We acknowledge there is some material accessible via the Internet that may be offensive, defamatory, graphic, inaccurate, illegal, or otherwise objectionable. However, we agree that the school and district shall not be held liable for any objectionable materials a student my encounter. While the school will strongly attempt to maintain the integrity of networks use, it is not ultimately responsible for restricting, monitoring or controlling the communication of individuals utilizing the network. By our signatures, we agree that it is the student who holds sole responsibility for his or her conduct on-line, for any materials accessed through the Internet, and for any costs incurred as a result of network use.

The school holds the following activities as just cause for taking disciplinary action, revoking network privileges, and/or making referral to legal authorities:

• Degrading or disrupting equipment of system performance
• Gaining intentional access to obscene or inappropriate files
• Using the network for any illegal activity, including violation of copyright or other licenses or contracts.
• Accessing "chat lines" unless engaged in a class activity directly under the supervision of a teacher.
• Using abusive or otherwise objectionable language in either public or private messages
• Harassing, insulting or attacking others
• Posting anonymous messages
• Wasteful use of limited resources provided by the school, including paper
• Causing undue congestion of the network through lengthy downloads of files, or by engaging in idle activities.
• Vandalizing the data of another user
• Gaining unauthorized access to resources or files
• Identifying one's self with another person's name
• Using an account or password of another user without authorization
• Using the network for financial or commercial gain
• Theft of data, equipment, or intellectual property
• Invading the privacy of individuals

School disciplinary measures are as outlined in the student handbook and, based on circumstances, may include any or all of the following: parent conference, revoking of network use privileges, detention, in-school suspension, Saturday school, suspension, expulsion.
