Parent/Guardian Acknowledgement
Due to the nature of the Internet and E-mail, it is neither practical nor possible for the Interboro School District to ensure compliance at all times with the district’s Internet Access, E-mail and Network Resources Acceptable Use Policy. Accordingly, parents/guardians must recognize that each student will be required to make independent decisions and use good judgment in his/her use of the Internet, Network Resources and E-mail. Therefore, parents/guardians must participate in the decision whether to allow their child access to the Internet and E-mail and must communicate their own expectations to their child regarding appropriate use of the Internet and E-mail.
As a parent/guardian of an Interboro School District student, I acknowledge that I received and understand the District’s Internet Access, E-Mail and Network Resources Acceptable Use Policy and the District’s Internet, E-mail and Network Access Agreement being signed by my child.
I understand that Internet, Network Resources and E-mail access is designed for educational and instructional purposes and that the district will discourage access to inappropriate and objectionable material and communications. However, I recognize it is impossible for Interboro School District to prevent access to all inappropriate and objectionable material, and I will not hold the district responsible for materials acquired or contacts made through the Internet or E-mail. I understand that a variety of inappropriate and objectionable materials are available through the Internet and E-Mail and that it may be possible for my child to access these materials if he or she chooses to behave irresponsibly. I also understand that the district will take all practical means to safeguard students while using the Internet, but cannot guarantee that all communications from or to undesirable or ill-intended individuals will be prevented; my child must take responsibility to avoid such communications if they are initiated. While I authorize the district to monitor and review all communications to or from my child on the Internet and E-mail, I recognize that it is not possible for the district to monitor and review all such communications. I have determined that the benefits of my child having access to the Internet and E-mail outweigh potential risks. I understand that any conduct by my child that is in conflict with these responsibilities is inappropriate, and that such behavior may result in the termination of access, disciplinary action and/or legal action.
I have reviewed these responsibilities with my child, and I hereby grant permission to the Interboro School District to provide my child with Internet and E-mail access. I agree to compensate the district for any expenses or costs it incurs as a result of my child's violation of the Internet Access and E-Mail Acceptable Use Policy or its administrative procedures; and I further agree that I will not hold the district responsible for any matter arising by reason of or relating to (a) my child's violation of the District’s Internet Access, E-Mail and Network Resources Acceptable Use Policy while on district property or personal technology within the district or (b) any materials acquired by my child, or contracts made by or to my child, through the Internet or E-mail.
