Responsible Use Agreement for Students

Menifee Union School District schools are rich in technologies that help you learn. You’ll find computers and mobile devices with Internet access, scanners, cameras, printers and so much more. There are also many digital resources available to you at school and when you are off campus. This is the result of a tremendous commitment from our District and schools. We believe that technology is not only a tool to improve your learning now, but also a tool to help you prepare to succeed at college and in your eventual career.

1. Students are given a district and Google account in the district domain to help with authoring documents and presentations, collaboration, and research. 
2. Students are expected to use district technology safely, responsibly, and for educational purposes only. Students are never allowed to harm equipment or software, or impair their effective use in any way.
3. Students must only access their own files, documents, applications, etc. except when they are working with other students with teacher permission.
4. Students must follow their teacher’s directions when using district technologies.
5. Students may only bring USB drives and other media from home for use on district devices with permission from their teacher.
6. Students are never allowed to share their password information with anyone.
7. On the Internet:

• Do not access or use chat rooms, social media, instant messaging, email systems or other forms of Internet communication without permission from your teacher.
• Use information technology in an ethical manner, avoiding plagiarism and respecting copyright.
• Do not download or install software without permission from your teacher.
• Do not attempt to access inappropriate websites. The District uses a filtering system to block inappropriate sites but nothing is foolproof. If you encounter an inappropriate site, report it to your teacher immediately.
• Never include your full name, phone number or other information on public websites or other places that can be viewed outside of your school.
• No cyber-bullying. Cyber-bullying is when one or more people repeatedly harm, harass, intimidate or exclude another person using technology. If you become the victim of cyber-bullying, report it to your teacher, parents, or principal immediately.

Failure to comply with this agreement can result in consequences, including losing your privilege of using the district’s technology equipment, parent conference, suspension and/or expulsion from school.
Students and their parent/guardian consent to searches of a district-provided device as a condition of obtaining such a device or as a condition or obtaining a Menifee USD-issued network address. All files created using the district accounts are accessible to district employees. They agree further not to hold the District or any district staff responsible for the failure of any technology protection measures, violations of copyright restrictions, or user’s mistakes or negligence. They also agree to indemnify and hold harmless the District and district personnel for any damages or costs incurred.
