San Francisco Unified School District

Acceptable Use of the Internet Policy

Background
The San Francisco Unified School District is pleased to offer its students access to the World Wide Web and electronic mail service. These on-line technologies offer students access to library databases and informational Web sites from all around the world. They also offer the ability to exchange messages with children and adults anywhere. However, using the Internet has its risks. Children may encounter text or images that are inaccurate or offensive.

Get Informed
Parents need to know their rights and responsibilities, and how to help their children make the best use of the Internet, at home and at school. School district parents should be on the lookout for information and forms concerning the acceptable use of the Internet, which will be sent home on February 5th. This information is also available from the following two links (You will need the free Adobe Acrobat Reader to view these files):
