CODE OF CONDUCT FOR COMPUTER USE

Computers are an important part of education.  Oxford High School encourages the use of computers in all areas of study.  In keeping with this goal, the following code has been established to protect the individual user and the school.  Rules of computer conduct include, but are not limited to the list below.  Those who have been found to abuse the privilege of using Oxford High School’s computing resources may lose computing privileges.   Loss of computing privileges may prevent students from completing academic assignments.  The rules of conduct for computer use are:

1. Users must not present false identification or misleading information to gain access to computing resources (including signing on with other persons’ accounts and passwords) nor use computing resources for which they are not authorized.
2. A password is like a locker combination.   Protect it and your security by not sharing it with others.
3. E-mail is a privilege authorized for academic purposes only.
4. Students who elect to use their personal computing devices at school for academic purposes may do so.  These students are subject to the rules while at school.

Violation of the Acceptable Use Policy or any procedures for computer use may result in a loss of computer privileges or in the confiscation of a mobile learning device.

Appropriate action will be enforced if necessary.
