We live in a world of change and information. Learning Crossroads Basic Academy firmly believes in the educational value and applications of technology such as computers and the Internet. The Internet puts virtually the whole world at one's fingertips, yet as a reflection of the World in which we live, it contains both good and bad.

Learning Crossroads is evaluating a number of "site blocking and content filtering" systems.  With one of these systems in place students will not have access to the worst of known sites on the Internet. The Internet is growing at such a phenomenal rate however that it is impossible for us to block all of the bad sites and/or content. If a student is determined, creative, and intent on getting to an unsavory site, it may be possible for a student to do so.

Therefore, in order to be granted the privilege of using computers and/or Internet through Learning Crossroads, a student and his/her parent(s)/guardians(s) must agree to abide by the following as users and citizens of the Internet.

1. I recognize and accept the responsibility for my actions and conduct on the
   Internet.
2. I will follow the same conduct outlined in the Learning Crossroads Contract of Expectations.
   Inappropriate behavior includes, but is not limited to, accessing, viewing and/or distributing
   vulgar or demeaning language, images and/or audio, hacking, damaging and/or altering software, data and/or hardware so as to harm and/or inconvenience others.
3. I will be courteous and respectful of property (including but not limited to data,
   programs and/or information) and people on the Internet.
4. Learning Crossroads computer and Internet resources will not be used for commercial
   purposes without prior written consent of Learning Crossroads Governing Board.
5. Use of the Internet and computers at Learning Crossroads is a privilege, not a right. Abuse
   and/or misuse of that privilege may result in loss of that privilege and/or other
   academic privileges and/or disciplinary action.
6. Parents and students recognize that Learning Crossroads can do nothing about and is
   not responsible for filtering incoming Internet e-mail nor the content of "chat"
   groups and "news" groups.
