Building upon the need to have a safe and nurturing school, students
must respect the property of the school and others at all times.
Any student action or intention that can be deemed as damaging
the property of the school or others can result in serious consequences.
Examples of property violations include:
- Stealing
- Defacing school property or the property of others
- Unauthorized use of equipment
- Inappropriate use of the internet
Internet Use at School
The internet provides an excellent means for learning, researching,
and communicating. Using the internet at LCCS is a privilege and
has consequences if certain expectations are violated.
Students are responsible for proper behavior on school computer
networks just as they are in a classroom or a school hallway.
Communications on the network are often public in nature. General
school rules for behavior and communications apply. The network
is provided for students to conduct research and communicate with
others. Independent access to network services is provided to
students who agree to act in a considerate and responsible manner.
Parent permission is required for internet use. Access is a privilege,
not a right. Access entails responsibility; each individual user
of the school computer networks is responsible for his/her behavior
and communications over those networks.
Network storage areas may be treated like school lockers. Network
and School administrators may review files and communications
to maintains system integrity and ensure that users are using
the system responsibly. Users should not expect that files stored
on school servers would be private. The school has the right to
check the computers in order to determine what materials and who
has accessed sites.
The following are not permitted:
- Sending or displaying offensive messages or pictures. Offensive
is anything, that is or could be perceived as violent, pornographic,
or otherwise offensive to a reasonable person.
- Using obscene language
- Harassing, insulting or attacking others
- Damaging computers, computer systems or computer network
- Violating copyright laws
- Using others’ passwords
- Trespassing in others’ folders, work or files
- Intentionally wasting limited resources
- Employing the network for commercial purposes
Consequences for Internet Violation
- Violations will result in a loss of access.
- Additional disciplinary action may be determined in line
with existing practice regarding any inappropriate language
or behavior, in accordance with the policy stated in the student
handbook, such as an office referral.
