Introduction to the
Parent or Legal Guardian:
Electronic
information resources are available to qualifying students in the Davis
School District. These resources
include the use of the computer and access to the Local Area Network, Davis
Wide Area Network and Internet services.
Our district goal, in providing electronic services to students, is to
promote educational excellence by facilitating resource use, innovation,
communication and acceptable use.
The
Davis School District Internet System is being filtered by a proxy server,
through the Utah Educational Network.
Student use of the Internet is monitored. Students who abuse acceptable use, which includes, but is not
limited to: copyrighted material, threatening or obscene material, pornography,
gambling, and inappropriate language will be subject to discipline.
To qualify
for electronic information resource services, students must be willing to abide
by the rules of acceptable use. Please work with us in helping your elementary
school age child understand and abide
by these simple but important rules of appropriate use. Thank you.

For the Parent or
Legal Guardian:
As the parent or legal guardian, I have read and I
have reviewed with my elementary school age child the Davis School District
Acceptable Use Agreement. I understand
that the use of these electronic information resources is for educational
purposes. I recognize the District has
initiated reasonable safeguards to filter and monitor inappropriate
materials. I understand that while the
District has also taken steps to restrict student access on the Internet to
inappropriate information and sites, it is impossible to restrict access to all
controversial materials. I further
recognize that if my child does not abide by the rules of acceptable use,
he/she may be disciplined. I will not hold
the Davis School District responsible for materials my child may acquire on the
Internet. I hereby give permission to
the Davis School District to permit my child to have access to the Local and
Wide Area Networks and the Internet.
