 * 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, MSD supports and respects each family's right to decide whether or not to approve independent access and communication.
 * Outside of school, families bear responsibility for the same guidance of internet use as they exercise with information sources such as television, telephones, movies and other possibly offensive media. Schools will use existing avenues of communication to raise awareness and inform parents about internet safety.
 * Our intent is to make internet access available to further educational goals and objectives. We believe that the benefits to students from access to the internet, in the form of information resources and opportunities for collaboration exceed any disadvantages.
 * address age requirements on social networks and appropriate 'friending' practices? (i.e. adults, teachers, etc)
 * Cell phones and email are not to be used for contacting students during the day nor should parents receive contacts from students during the school day to arrange for early dismissal. These arrangements are to be made through the attendance, assistant principals, or nurses offices only.
 * the parent/guardian bears the responsibility for the loss or damage of electronic devices (iPhone, iPods, MP3 players, blackberries, cell phones, GameBoy, etc) brought to school.

-make this part of the student;s responsible use agreement

As the parent/guardian of _, I acknowledge that I have reviewed this agreement with my student. I understand that the technology tools used in school are designed for educational purposes. MSD has many filters in place to eliminate controversial material; however, I understand that no filtering system is capable of blocking 100% of the inappropriate material on the internet. If my child disregards the guidelines of the school and/or system, I am aware that he/she may find ways to access other materials via the internet which may contain items that are illegal, defamatory, inaccurate, or potentially offensive to some people. I will not hold MSD or its employees responsible for materials acquired on the internet. Further, I accept full responsibility for supervision if and when my child's use is not in a school setting.
