Hamilton Heights High School Library

Students are expected to adhere to the Internet Usage and Technology Policy of the Hamilton Heights School Corporation. Failure to do so will result in suspension or complete loss of Internet use privileges.

A summary of some of the main points of this policy are outlined below:

1. Access to network services is a privilege given to students who agree to act in a considerate and responsible manner.
   
2. Parent permission is required to obtain an Internet access card.
   Users shall not reveal their home address or phone number of the addresses or phone numbers of others.
   
3. School Corporation Internet resources may not be used to access another person's materials, information, or files without permission.
   
4. School Corporation Internet resources may not be used to access, download, distribute or transmit pornographic, obscene, abusive or sexually explicit language or material; to violate any law; to vandalize, damage or disable the property of another person or persons; or to violate copyright or otherwise use another person's intellectual property.
   
5. The Internet may also not be used for commercial, extensive personal or private business, or to subscribe to or solicit information which incurs a cost.
   
6. The corporation's Internet may not be used to access "chat rooms" and other forums which are devoid of any educational purpose.
   
7. Personal web pages for students are not permitted on the corporation's web server.

Please note that the stipulation against use of the Internet that violates laws includes the use of the Internet to steal another person's ideas and use them as their own (i.e. plagiarism). Please ensure that you do not merely copy and paste information off the Internet and use it as your own or you are in danger of loosing your corporation Internet privileges.
