Computer and Electronic Device Policy

Devices In School

In order to have access to computers at CVHS, all students and parents/guardians must sign a one-time Technology Acceptable Use Agreement Form. Students are allowed to access computers before and after school (see Library times), during their off blocks, and in classes with teacher approval and supervision. All students are assigned individual passwords in order to access the computers. In addition, each student has a Google account, with a school email, that they can use to create and save documents for school. There are computers in the Library/Media Center for student use.

Confiscation of Devices

Students who use electronic devices during classroom instructional time without prior permission may have the devices confiscated, and staff may take appropriate disciplinary action. It is the staff member’s discretion to hold the device in the classroom or turn it into the main office. Any confiscated item from a student that is sent to the Main Office may be held for up to 48 hours and may need to be picked up by a parent/guardian at the discretion of school staff.

Internet Use

Internet access is available for students at CVHS. With this privilege comes the responsibility to follow CVHS guidelines when accessing the Internet at CVHS. Electronic tampering such as keying profane/obscene language, using pornographic sites or information, willfully deleting files, changing computer passwords or default settings, and downloading inappropriate materials is prohibited. School officials actively monitor computer use at CVHS.

Cyberbullying

Crescent Valley High School is committed to providing a positive and productive learning environment. No form of cyberbullying by students will be tolerated at CVHS. Cyberbullying is the use of any electronic communication device to convey a message in any form (text, image, audio, or video) that defames, intimidates, harasses, or is otherwise intended to harm, insult, or humiliate another in a deliberate, repeated, or hostile and unwanted manner under a person’s true or false identity. In addition, any communication of this form which disrupts or prevents a safe and positive educational environment may also be considered cyberbullying.
