• Responsible Use Guidelines for Forsyth County Schools’ Community                                    


    The mission of Forsyth County Schools (ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app) is to prepare and inspire all students to contribute and excel. The district provides ongoing student instruction that develops graduated digital citizenship for using technology as a tool to achieve this mission. Information and Communication Technology is an integral part of ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app’ curriculum across subjects and grades in developmentally appropriate ways, and it is aligned to the competencies listed in the district’s Learner Profile which include: pursue continuous learning, exhibit strong personal qualities, utilize creative and critical thinking, engage and contribute and interact effectively.

    I understand that using digital devices (whether personal or school owned) and the ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app network is a privilege, and when I use them according to the Responsible Use Guidelines I will keep that privilege.

    All members of Forsyth County Schools’ community agree to follow the Forsyth County Schools Code of Conduct, school rules and commit to the following responsible use guidelines.

    I will:

    • Use digital devices, networks and software in school for educational purposes and activities.
    • Keep my personal information (including home/mobile phone number, mailing address, and user password) and that of others private.
    • Show respect for myself and others when using technology including social media.
    • Give acknowledgement to others for their ideas and work.
    • Report inappropriate use of technology immediately.
    • Protect private and confidential information in a manner supported by the ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app Technology Department.

    The Responsible Use Procedure will be reviewed each school year together with students and teachers and will provide a springboard for teaching and learning around topics such as Internet safety, digital citizenship and ethical use of technology.
