NSBHS Internet Access Policies and Computer Code of Conduct
Internet Access & Computer Code of Conduct Rev. 7/07
New Smyrna Beach High School is please to be able to offer a wide variety of technology and software programs. In order to insure that all members of the high school community benefit from this, certain rules and guidelines have been developed. Please download, sign and turn in the attached form below.
ACCESS TO INTERNET
Access to the Internet at New Smyrna Beach High School affords students the benefit of expanding classroom learning dramatically by making available vast resources including original source material from all over the world. While the benefits of Internet use are enormous, parents need to be aware that there are areas of materials not appropriate for high school students. Although the New Smyrna Beach High School faculty and staff make every attempt to eliminate access to controversial material it is possible that your child may encounter such material. Guidelines covered in the Volusia County Student Code of Conduct govern all Internet use. Ultimately, parents/guardians are responsible for setting and conveying the standards that their child should follow. To that end, New Smyrna Beach High School supports and respects families’ rights to decide whether or not their children should be permitted access to the Internet. Please sign the attached permission form to allow your student to access the Internet at New Smyrna Beach High School.
MEDIA PRODUCTION &PRESS RELEASE AUTHORIZATION
As a school, we believe that students should receive public recognition of accomplishments. Of course, we are not always able to provide as much recognition as we would like; however, when the appropriate opportunity arises, we like to spotlight our students. Please sign the following permission slip to assist in our recognition program.
VIEWING OF PG-13MOVIE RELEASE
Often appropriate "PG-13" movies or sections of "PG-13" movies can be utilized effectively to enrich classroom instruction and accomplish identified objectives. Please sign the attached permission form if you give permission for your child to view such materials as identified by the teacher as effective in teaching the curriculum. (NOTE: NO "R" rated movies will be shown.)
