At the Harry Lee Cole School we use computers to support learning and enhance instruction. Internet
access through ATT Broadband cable service allows us to interact with hundreds of thousands of
computers around the world.
Children at the Harry Lee Cole School do not have unsupervised access to the Internet.
Teachers at Harry Lee Cole School:
Preview all Internet sites and related links during the lesson planning process before allowing
children to view them
Teachers and students at the Harry Lee Cole School:
Use the Internet to research classroom projects
Use the Internet to explore other computer systems when applied to a Harry Lee Cole project
Send and receive class e-mail through a standard classroom e-mail account
Comply with standard copyright laws
Access to the Internet is a privilege and users agree to act in a responsible, considerate, ethical and
legal manner. The Internet is to be used for educational purposes, defined as purposes directly
related to a Harry Lee Cole School assignment, project, or activity.
The Harry Lee Cole School provides a school web page with several links to other educational web
sites. Cole School staff previews these outside sites before they are linked to our site, and we review
these links on a regular basis. However, because of the volatility and size of Internet resources, the
school can not be responsible for all the content of these pages. We believe that children must have
careful, adult supervision when working on the Internet, even when branching out from our own
Home Page.
Because access to the Internet provides connections to global computer systems, users and their
families must understand that the Harry Lee Cole School and its faculty can not completely control
the content of information obtained from other systems, nor does it condone the use of controversial
or offensive materials.
The Internet is an environment where many products and services are also advertised. The Harry Lee
Cole School does not encourage or promote the use of any products or services advertised on the
Internet. We are not connected in any way to these advertisers.
While there are some "controversial" areas in the use of the Internet, it is (and will be), the
communication tool of our children's present and future. At Harry Lee Cole School we try to provide
all students with the tools to use this exciting medium in a responsible way, while in a protected
environment.
