    Acceptable Use Policy for Network Access

    The information systems and Internet access available through FCPS are available to support learning, enhance instruction, and support school system business practices.

    FCPS information systems are operated for the mutual benefit of all users. The use of the FCPS Network is a privilege, not a right. Users should not do, or attempt to do, anything that might disrupt the operation of the network or equipment and/or interfere with the learning of other students or work of other FCPS employees. The FCPS Network is connected to the Internet, a network of networks, which enables people to interact with hundreds of thousands of networks and computers. All access to the FCPS Network shall be preapproved by the principal or program manager. The school or office may restrict or terminate any users access, without prior notice, if such action is deemed necessary to maintain computing availability and security for other users of the systems. Other disciplinary action may be imposed as stated in the Fairfax County Public Schools Student Responsibilities and Rights (SR&R) document.

    Respect for Others


    Users should respect the rights of others using the FCPS Network by: Using assigned workstations as directed by the teacher. Being considerate when using scarce resources. Always logging off workstations after finishing work. Not deliberately attempting to disrupt system performance or interfere with the work of other users. Leaving equipment and room in good condition for the next user or class.

    Ethical Conduct for Users


    Accounts on the FCPS Network, both school-based and central, are considered private, although absolute security of any data cannot be guaranteed. It is the responsibility of the user to: Use only his or her account or password. It is a violation to give access to an account to any other user. Recognize and honor the intellectual property of others; comply with legal restrictions regarding plagiarism and the use and citation of information resources. Not read, modify, or remove files owned by other users. Restrict the use of the FCPS Network and resources to the mission or function of the school system. The use of the FCPS Network for personal use or for private gain is prohibited. Help maintain the integrity of the school information system. Deliberate tampering or experimentation is not allowed, which includes the use of FCPS Network and resources to illicitly access, tamper with, or experiment with systems outside FCPS.

    Respect for Property


    The only software, other than students projects, to be used on school computers or the school network are those products that the school may legally use. Copying copyrighted software without full compliance with
    IT-121 (3/99)

    terms of a preauthorized licensing agreement is a serious federal offense and will not be tolerated. Modifying any copyrighted software or borrowing software is not permitted. Do not modify or rearrange keyboards, individual key caps, monitors, printers, or any other peripheral equipment. Report equipment problems immediately to teacher or program manager. Leave workstations and peripherals in their designated places.

    Appropriate Use
    Do not use offensive, obscene, or harassing language when using any FCPS Network system. Information may not be posted if it: violates the privacy of others, jeopardizes the health and safety of students, is obscene or libelous, causes disruption of school activities, plagiarizes the work of others, is a commercial advertisement, or is not approved by the principal or program manager. Users will not change or delete files belonging to others. Real-time messaging and online chat may only be used with the permission of the teacher or program manager. Students are not to reveal personal information (last name, home address, phone number) in correspondence with unknown parties. Users exercising their privilege to use the Internet as an educational resource shall accept the responsibility for all material they receive. Users are prohibited from accessing portions of the Internet that do not promote the instructional mission of FCPS. All student-produced web pages are subject to approval and ongoing review by responsible teacher and/or principal. All web pages should reflect the mission and character of the school.
