 Students must follow all rules in the Internet Acceptable Use Policy as outlined. “I understand the importance of being polite, respectful, honest, and the need to obey the rules for the use of the computer and the Internet. I also know I should not give out personal information about myself or my family over the Internet. I understand that the computer, the Internet and other electronic information resources are to be used for educational purposes.”  Failure to follow all rules may result in loss of computer use during technology class.

Equipment:  NCS computers and accessories are property of the school and need to be treated as such.  Students are not to hit or damage computers and their accessories.  If a student does not follow the technology rules and breaks equipment the student and their family are responsible for replacing said equipment.  No student is allowed to add or remove software to any NCS computer without permission. This includes changing the colors or the "look" of the computer. Altering a NCS computer is equivalent to rearranging a teacher's desk.

Cyber bullying:  Students are not allowed to use NCS equipment to verbally attack another student, NCS, or it's staff.  Students are not allowed to create posts, s and documents that paint another student in an unflattering light or hurts another student’s feelings.  If a student uses NCS equipment to verbal attack another student there will be immediate consequences. Parents will be notified the first time this happens and possibly suspension.

Electronic Files:  Students are never allowed to enter another students‘ or teachers' files, folder or flash drive for any reason without permission.  Students are not to change or delete another student's electronic files or change folder names thus hiding student work.  Altering anything electronically is the same as stealing and destruction of property and will be treated as such.
