Technology: Acceptable Use Policy
Brownell-Talbot School is pleased to offer Middle and Upper School students and all faculty and staff access to the school computer network for personal productivity applications, electronic mail, and Internet access for school work and enrichment activities.
To gain access to the school computer network and facilities, each student must obtain parental consent and must sign and return this form to his or her School Head.
Access to e-mail and the Internet will enable students to explore thousands of libraries, databases, and bulletin boards while exchanging messages with Internet users throughout the world. Along with the unparalleled storehouse of valuable information and resources the Internet places on a person's desktop comes also the availability of a relatively small amount of material that may not be considered to be of educational value or appropriate in the context of the school setting.
The faculty and administration of Brownell-Talbot School are convinced that the valuable information and interaction available on this worldwide network far outweighs the possibility that users may find material that is not consistent with the educational goals of the school.
As with any medium of communication or expression, we believe that the school, working with our students' families and supporting and reinforcing their values, best serves students by helping them grow in discernment, good taste, personal responsibility, and ethical conduct.
