The goal in providing electronic information services to employees is to promote efficiency and excellence in the workplace by facilitating resource sharing, innovation, communication, cooperation, and collaboration. Access to these technologies entails responsibility. The use of an assigned account must be in support of education, business, research and/or within the educational, professional or personal employment goals, roles, responsibilities and objectives of Escuela Bella Vista.
Individual users of computer networks are responsible for their behavior and communications over those networks. Staff members should be aware that on-line services are not free of objectionable materials. Staff members bear the same responsibility for Internet use as they exercise with information sources such as television, telephones, movies and radio.
Material to be published must not display, access, or link to sites deemed offensive by this EBV Acceptable Use Agreement (AUP). All published material must have educational value and/or support the school guidelines, goals, and policies as well as conform to the Internet/Intranet Publishing Guidelines. Only materials authorized by the site/department administrator will be published on EBV Internet/Intranet servers. Illegal or inappropriate publishing activities or uses of any kind that do not conform to the rules, regulations and policies of Escuela Bella Vista are forbidden. All personnel involved in Internet/Intranet publishing must have on file, at their site, an AUP signature card.
Network storage files are treated like any other staff work in progress. Network administrators may review files and communications to maintain system integrity and insure that staff members are using the system responsibly. Staff members should not expect that files stored on school servers and computers will be private. The school expects that users will comply with school standards and will honor the agreements they have signed.
The following are prohibited and may result in a loss of access as well as disciplinary or legal action.

· Accessing, sending or displaying offensive messages or pictures
· Using objectionable language
· Harassing, insulting, or attacking others
· Intentionally wasting limited resources, e.g., spamming
· Intentionally tampering with or damaging computers, computer systems, or computer networks

· Giving out anyone's home address or phone number
· Using another's account/password
· Trespassing in another's folders, work, or files
