Info

University High School. Students can easily communicate with teachers and important school notices will be sent through the e-mail system. Therefore, students should check their SLUH e-mail account regularly. Technology provides additional tools for students as they grow in their knowledge of the world. Technology resources include computers, phones, video equipment, copy machines, and all information storage devices. The use of all equipment is a privilege, not a right; with this privilege comes responsibility. If a student requests a search on the Internet that the librarian questions, she or the student should contact the teacher for clarification. Technology resources should be used for educational purposes, and rules of good behavior and moral responsibility should apply. We realize that there are many Internet web sites that students use and will continue to use. These include, but are not limited to Facebook, ChatRoulette, Webshot, STL Punk, My Space, Geocities, Picture Trails, etc. You should be aware that the school has the ability to review these sites, and access to these sites are prohibited in our library. Your enrollment at SLUH may be in jeopardy if any inappropriate content, posted or provided by you, communicates ideas or values that conflict with SLUH’s Mission as a Jesuit, Catholic school. This even includes your friends’ web sites that have you representing SLUH in some inappropriate manner or behavior. While we realize that there are things beyond one’s control, we expect students to make an effort to avoid any inappropriate situation and take responsibility for their behavior and choices. Violations of SLUH's technology policy include, but are not limited to, any or all of the following: a. Student accessibility to information. Students may not access objectionable materials, which include pornography, instructions that encourage violent or illegal acts, racist tracts or hate speech used for anything other than legitimate academic pursuit. b. Unauthorized copying or theft of software or other intellectual property. Copying of software without a site license or permission from the creator is prohibited. c. Harassment using technological systems. No SLUH phone system, copy machine or computer system may be used to send obscene or unwelcome messages. d. Damaging computers, computer systems or computer networks. This includes vandalizing, hacking or destroying systems or equipment including hardware or software. Trespassing another's folders, work or files without specific permission is prohibited. e. Invasion of the property of individuals or the school's. Attempts to access another user's or the school's private files, phones or E- mail messages without specific permission will be considered theft. f. Employing the Internet for commercial purposes. No equipment should be used for private gain or commercial purpose. 23
g. Student’s on-line behavior needs to reflect the general behavioral standards set forth in the student handbook. Websites, pictures, and videos on-line should reflect positively on the student and on SLUH. Careless behavior on Social Network Sites (Facebook, MySpace, etc.) could result in any multitude of consequences for students. Failure to comply with the guidelines will result, at least, in revocation of privilege, disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal, and/or prosecution by the authorities. Electronics MP3 players, iPods, and other devices that play music only (not iTouches) can only be used with headphones during the activity periods, lunch, breaks and unscheduled periods. The device and the headphones can never be used in the hallways. Pagers/cell phones, iPhones, iTouches and the like are to be kept turned off, in students’ lockers. The student should never have these devices on their person during the school day unless with permission of the Assistant Principal for Student Life. This also includes exam days. The following consequences will be assessed if a student violates the pager/cell phone rule: 1 st offense 3 hours of jug, confiscation of phone 2 nd offense Saturday jug (6 hours), confiscation of phone, $25 fine and call home 3 rd offense discretion of the Assistant Principal for Student Life Internet Postings No SLUH student or faculty member may post on the internet anything using SLUH's name without the permission of the Vice President for Advancement and Planning. This includes invitations to SLUH events on or off campus, information about students or faculty, pictures or the organizing of any SLUH activity. Violation of this policy may result in suspension/disciplinary consequences. 10. Dress Code In general, the school relies upon the good judgment and taste of both students and their parents in the implementation of these guidelines for student dress. The school does recognize that a student should be allowed to express his individuality through how he dresses. Therefore considerable freedom is allowed with respect to clothes and grooming. However, one's dress should show self-respect and respect for others and not bring undue attention to oneself. Torn and/or ragged clothing is never acceptable attire. Students are expected to be neat and clean at all times. They are to dress in a manner that indicates they understand the difference between being dressed for a day at school and dressed for a recreational/social activity outside of school time. 24
