The Weehawken School Board's goal is to include the Internet in the
district's instructional program in order to promote educational excellence
and to provide students, teachers and community residents with a means of
accessing the informational resources available on the World Wide Web.
The use of the Internet shall be consistent with the curriculum adopted by
the district as well as the varied instructional needs, learning styles,
abilities and developmental levels of the students.
All use of the district's connection to the Internet must be in support of
education and/or research. The use of the Internet is a privilege, not a
right and general and specific rules of behavior and communications will
apply when using the Internet. Electronic communications, e-mail, and
downloaded material may be monitored or read by school officials.
Each student and his/her parent or guardian must sign an "Authorization for
Internet Access" before being granted unsupervised use. The failure of any
student to follow the terms of the "Authorization for Internet Access"
policy will result in the loss of privileges, disciplinary action and/or
appropriate legal action.
This district is in complete compliance with the ChildrenÍs Internet
Protection Act (CIPA) which requires the use of filtering and monitoring
software, annual review of policy and procedures, a Board of Education
resolution affirming compliance, public meetings, staff/student instruction,
and additional measures to ensure internet safety and protection for our
students.
