Acceptable Use Policies

Telecommunications is radically changing the way the world accesses information. The Internet represents a powerful educational resource unlike anything that precedes it. The primary purpose of use of the Internet and Guilford Public Schools Network shall be to increase student learning through education and research.

The Guilford Public Schools are aware that the Internet is an unregulated communication environment in which information changes constantly, and that some of this information is inappropriate for users, based on age and/or development levels. Guilford educators will take an active role in ensuring that students and their parents are aware of the individual user's responsibility in using the Internet resources in an ethical and educational manner. Our goal is to provide individual users with the understanding and skills needed to use the Internet in ways appropriate to their individual educational needs.

The Guilford Public Schools have developed the following policy regarding the acceptable use of its network and the Internet to establish each user's rights and responsibilities as well as to delineate certain prohibited activities.
