Appropriate Use

Greetings,
This is a friendly reminder regarding appropriate use of any school based or school connected venue. Based on our user agreements and access to public venues, our policies and regulations include:

Guidelines for Appropriate Discussion

• Be respectful of others and of yourself.
• Remember, that comments posted can be read by anyone on the internet, so you represent you and your school!
• Even if you can't see the person, words can still hurt. So be nice.
• Last names are only used for adults.

User Agreement

All participants will be respectful in their postings and edits. No trash-talk, inappropriate language, personal insults, profanity, spam, racist, sexist or discriminatory remarks, or threatening comments will be tolerated.

No student or other participant may post, comment, or change settings on the site in violation of these terms and conditions.

While I would agree that these have been outlined in reference to the wikispace traditionally, these same expectations apply in any tech or public space (including your individual blogs).

In addition, as this is still a friendly reminder, I would suggest that you refer to your Student Handbooks if needed for a review. Specifically sections 25.B and 25.C which should clear up any guidelines regarding inappropriate language (including swearing) and disrespect to fellow students or staff members.

If there are additional questions or concerns, you are free to consult with me on an individual basis.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Barto
