Technology and information services includes: Communications technology, desktop services, information services, instructional technology facilitators, media services & network services Internet Safety Students and employees shall have access to the Internet through their classroom, library, or school computer lab. Students and their parent(s) / guardian(s) must sign an acceptable use consent form to be granted access to the Internet via the Hinckley-Finlayson computer network. The Internet has become a valuable communication and learning tool for Hinckley-Finlayson staff and students. Below are links to some Internet safety resources that the district has found to help make that learning experience a safe journey. Internet Safety - Nation Crime Prevention Center National Center for Missing and Exploited Children A Parent's Guide to Internet Safety (with additional resources) Cyber Bullying - Kids Health What does it mean to be a digital citizen? Being online is second nature for young people today. Parents and students should take a minute or two to think about how to keep safe. Students probably know more about the technology than their parents - they should also be the safety expert. They'll need this knowledge for the rest of their life.
