The Catholic Schools of the Diocese of Syracuse Terms and Conditions for Acceptable

Use of the Internet by Students

The Church views emerging technologies as gifts of the Spirit to this age and challenges “God’s faithful people to make use of the new discoveries and technologies.” (Aetatis Novae, #2). Developments in communications technology present new possibilities and challenges for the mission of the Church and Catholic Education. The Catholic Schools of the Diocese of Syracuse recognize that as telecommunications and other new technologies shift the ways that information may be accessed, processed, communicated and transferred by members of society, those changes may also alter instruction and student learning. The Catholic Schools of the Diocese of Syracuse support access by students to rich information resources along with the development by staff of appropriate skills to analyze and evaluate such resources. In addition, educational technologies must be used, both by Catholic educators and students, in a manner that is educationally appropriate and consistent with standards of electronic ethics and copyright laws. 1. Student use of the internet on school computer hardware on school premises, or through School obtained accounts, both on-site and through remote

The school reserves the right to inspect copy and/or delete all files and records on school computers or accessed through school accounts.

7. Privacy is to be insured at all times. Students may not reveal their personal address or phone numbers or those of others. All communications and information accessible via the network should be assumed to be public property.

changed immediately. 8.3. Passwords should never be written down, attached to the terminal, placed under the keyboard, or any other insecure place. 8.4. Account holders should notify their teacher-sponsor or the teacher of the class if unauthorized access to their account is detected or suspected.
