I accept responsibility to abide by RSU 1's Internet Network Access policy and procedures as stated in this agreement. I understand the use of the Internet and access to RSU 1's network is a privilege not a right, and I agree:

• To use the Internet network for appropriate educational purposes and research;

• To use the Internet Network only with the permission of designated school staff;

• To be considerate of other users on the network and use appropriate language for school situations;

• Not to intentionally degrade or disrupt Internet network services or equipment. This includes but is not limited to tampering with computer hardware or software, vandalizing data, invoking computer viruses, attempting to gain access to restricted or unauthorized network services, or violating copyright laws;

• To immediately report any security problems or breeches of these responsibilities to the responsible computer teacher;

• To comply with all of the rules with expectations included in the student Internet Appropriate Use Administrative Procedure and Network Etiquette; and

• Not to divulge personal information such as addresses and telephone numbers over the Internet.

I understand that any conduct that is in conflict with these responsibilities is inappropriate and may result in termination of network access and possible disciplinary action.

IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PARENTS

Due to the nature of the Internet, it is neither practical nor possible for the Bath School Department to enforce compliance with user rules at all times. Accordingly, parents and students must recognize that student will not be required to make independent decisions and use good judgment in their use of the Internet. Therefore, parents must participate in the decision whether to allow their children access to the Internet and must communicate their own expectations to their children regarding its use.

As a parent/guardian of this student, I have read the Student Internet and Appropriate Use policy and administrative procedure and this Internet Network Access agreement.

• I understand that Internet access is designed for educational purposes and that the Bath School Department will attempt to discourage access to objectionable material and communications that are intended to exploit, harass or abuse students. However, I recognize it is impossible for the Bath School Department to restrict access to all objectionable material, and I will not hold the Bath School Department responsible for materials acquired or contacts made on the network.

• I understand that a variety of inappropriate and offensive materials are available over the Internet and that it may be possible for my child to access these materials is he/she chooses to behave irresponsibly. I also understand that it is possible for undesirable or ill-intended individuals to communicate with my child over the Internet, that there is not practical means for the school to prevent this from happening, and that my child must take responsibility to avoid such communications if they are initiated. While I authorize the staff to monitor any communications to or from my child on the Internet, I recognize that it is not possible for the school to monitor all such communications. I have determined that the benefits of my child having access to the Internet outweigh potential risks.

• I understand that any conduct by the above-named student that is in conflict with these responsibilities is inappropriate, and such behavior may result in the termination of access and possible disciplinary action.

• I have reviewed these responsibilities with my child, and I hereby grant permission to the Bath School Department to provide Internet network access.

• I agree to compensate the Bath School Department for any expenses or costs it incurs as a result of my child's violation of the Internet policy or administrative procedure.
