Internet Use Policy
The Internet will be used to enhance
core curriculum instruction, develop student literacy and
provide on-going professional staff development activities.
The Internet is a "network of
networks" which is used by many organizations including
schools, government and businesses.
It should be viewed as an
educational tool similar to books, CD-ROMs, videos,
periodicals and other information sources. Because it is
impossible to predict or control what information might be
accessed, it is the responsibility of students and staff to
adhere to these Acceptable Use rules.
Easton/Redding/Regional School
District Number 9 requires responsible and ethical behavior
on the part of all Internet users. Failure to adhere to
these rules will result in restriction of access to the
Internet and/or disciplinary actions.
- Responsible use of the Internet
includes, but is not limited to:
- research
- instructional activities
- electronic mail
- Irresponsible use includes, but
is not limited to:
- any illegal activity
- using electronic mail to
harass others
- using the Internet for
monetary gain
- vandalism of hardware or
software
- using inappropriate or
abusive language or behavior
- unauthorized access
- misusing and abusing
passwords
- violating copyright law or
engaging in plagiarism

E-Mail Use Policy
All e-mail
conducted must be consistent with the districts’ policies,
curricular guidelines and educational standards and
objectives.
There are
several resources available for effective communication,
which is essential to the success of our mission to the
school community. SSES newly installed phone system provides
a reliable voice messaging system for easy access to all
teachers, school counselors and administration. The district
website offers up-to-date information and a master calendar
of important events.
We recommend the
following guidelines to optimize judicious and effective use
of Samuel Staple's e-mail:
-
Avoid questions that require lengthy responses. E-mail
is considered to be a substitute for telephone messages
and, therefore, should deliver inquiries and replies of
no more than three or four sentences.
-
Deliver responses in a timely fashion appropriate to the
information requested.
-
Depend on sources other than e-mail for communication of
complex and lengthy classroom assignments.
