Internet Use

Using the Internet In Highlees

Rules for Responsible Internet Use

The school has installed computers and Internet access to help our learning. These rules will keep everyone safe and help us to be fair to others.

I will ask permission from a member of staff before using the Internet.

I will use only my own login and password, which I will keep secret.

I will not access other people's files.

I will use the computer only for schoolwork and homework.

I will not bring floppy disks into school unless I have permission.

I will only email people I know, or my teacher has approved.

I will not give my home address or phone number, or arrange to meet someone, unless my parent, carer or teacher has given permission.

To help protect other pupils and myself, I will tell a teacher if I see anything I am unhappy with or I receive messages I do not like.

I understand that the school may check my computer files and may monitor the Internet sites I visit.
