St. Bernadette’s Acceptable Use Policy
While the intent of St. Bernadette Catholic
School is to make Internet access available to further educational goals and
objectives, students may find ways to access other materials as well. The administration and faculty believe that
the benefits to students from access to the Internet, in the form of
information resources and opportunities for collaboration, exceed any
disadvantages. But ultimately, parents
and guardians of minors are responsible for setting and conveying the standards
that their children should follow when using media and information
sources. To that end, St. Bernadette
School supports and respects each family's right to decide whether or not to
apply for access.
