Each V.C.U.S.D. student, wishing access to school networked computers, is required to enter into a written agreement generally known as an "acceptable use policy" (AUP). The district's AUP is known as the "Internet Consent & Waiver Form".

At Jesse Bethel High School, we also require students to pass our "Internet Surfing License" quiz with a minimum of 80% correct. The quiz is designed to prevent perfunctory signatures and insure student understands policy and his/her responsibility. No teacher may permit a student on school computers before verifying that a student has on file his/her " Internet Consent & Waiver Form". This form is kept in the school's library. Qualified students are issued a unique sticker placed on the student's ID Card. The district mandates that students have ID cards with them at all times on school campus.

Please use the district policy links on the left to become more familiar with policy. For your convenience we've made available forms that may be printed out from home and signed. The actual student quiz is not available online but a sample of the quiz is available for on-line practice.
