Password Policy In order to enhance overall network security, a new “strong” password policy has been enabled thatwill make it extremely difficult to compromise the system. This policy requires that passwords be 8 or morecharacters in length and contain characters from three of the four character groups listed below:1) Uppercase letters (A-Z) 3) Numerals (0-9)2) Lowercase letters (a-z) 4) Special characters (!@#$%^&*) A valid password can contain, for example, one or more uppercase letters, one or more lowercaseletters and one or more numbers. It can also contain one or more uppercase letters, one or more lowercaseletters and one or more special characters such as ! or #. You can use any combination of characters as long asthere is one character from three of the four groups mentioned above.Examples:  Use @ in place of Aa  Use 1 in place of Ii or Ll  Use ! in place of Ii or Ll  Use 0 (zero) in place of Oo In addition, no part of your username may be used in the password. Some examples of INVALIDpasswords would be (assuming your login name is johnsmith): 1) Jsmith1 3) 080452 2) John1 4) abc123 You will also be prompted to change your password at various intervals during the year. A“password uniqueness” policy has been put into effect that will require your new password to be totallydifferent from your old one.New Teacher Orientation 2015-16 Technology Resources Page 57

Internet User Agreement Gateway to the Future - Acceptable Use PolicyIntroduction Gateway to the Future, the White Plains Public Schools’ multi-million dollar Technology Plan, places the districtfar ahead of most other school systems in the nation in the area of computer technology. In fact, New York StateCommissioner of Education Richard Mills has applauded district educators for developing a technology program that is“driven by high expectations, includes a huge commitment to staff training and is linked to the school and City libraries. We have written this brochure for families who have a computer and Internet access at home, as well as forthose who do not. It includes definitions of some of the most common network and Internet terminology, and attemptsto give families a balanced view of the advantages and disadvantages of this powerful yet controversial tool. We hope toarm families with information about this new field of communication, and to provide guidelines and standards forstudents to follow for a safe journey through this world. The White Plains Network All of the district’s schools and officesare connected by a network through fiber optic wiring installed by the City of White Plains. The latest and best computersoftware is located on the network for student and staff use. Through the network, students can access the vastresources of the Internet and explore thousands of constantly growing websites, libraries, data-bases and bulletinboards where they can learn about virtually any topic. In addition, students on the internet will be able to speak,through E-mail to individuals in a class clear across town, the nation, or, for that matter, the world.What’s in it for Kids? What exactly does this all mean to your daughter in fourth grade or to your eighth-grade son in middleschool? Well, first of all, this technology gives your child a head start on the 21st century, when it is predicted that aquarter of the population will hold technologically oriented jobs. Technology will make your child’s education moreinteresting and more relevant. For example, fourth grade American History will come alive when your daughter travelsvia the Internet to West Virginia on a virtual field trip and sees an actual battlefield of the Revolutionary War. Youreighth grader will be able to use his computer to conduct research via the Internet, organize his findings on a database,and write his research paper without even leaving his desk. The sky’s the limit!About the Internet User Agreement The Internet User Agreement in this brochure needs to be signed by you and your child and returned to her/hisschool as soon as possible. There are two options available to you: One option is to allow your daughter or son to haveindividual access to the Internet and to have his/her own E-mail address. This individual access will occur only with yourpermission and only after your child has completed an “acceptable use” orientation session in school. Your other optionis to refuse to give permission for your child to individually access the Internet and to have her/his own E-mail address.Under this choice, your child will have access to the software on the network but not be allowed individual use of theInternet. S/he will occasionally use the Internet but only in a classroom setting under direct teacher supervision. Wesuggest that you and your child spend time together reading and discussing this brochure before you sign theagreement.Resources for families The district’s Office of Instructional and Administrative Technology and the Parent Information Center will beproviding suggestions of resources to help you and your child with the technology. We will be sharing Internet safetytips and the addresses of interesting learning sites, and we’ll tell you about books on technology that will be available forloan from the Center.New Teacher Orientation 2015-16 Technology Resources Page 62

My Rules for Online Safety  I will not give out personal information such as my address, telephone number, parent work address or telephone number. I will not give out address, telephone number, or the name and location of my school without my parent’s permission.  I will tell my parent right away if I come across any information that makes me feel uncomfortable.  I will never agree to get together with someone I “meet” online without first checking with my parents. If my parents agree to the meeting, I will be sure that it is in a public place and will bring my mother or father along.  I will never send a person my picture or anything else without first checking with my parents.  I will not respond to any messages that are mean or in any way make me feel uncomfortable. It is not my fault if I get a message like that. If I do, I will tell my parents right away so that they can contact the online service.  I will talk with my parent so that we can set up rules for going online. We will decide upon the time of day that I can be online, the length of time I can be online and appropriate areas for me to visit. I will not access other areas or break these rules without their permission.This has been reprinted with permission of The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) CopyrightNCMEC 1994. All rights reserved.District Limitation of Liability  The district makes no warranties of any kind, either expressed or implied, that the functions or the services provided by, or through, the district system will be error-free or without defect.  The district will not be responsible for any damage users may suffer, including, but not limited to loss of data or interruption of service.  The district is not responsible for the accuracy or quality of the information obtained through or stored on the system.  The district will not be responsible for the content of any advice or information received by a student from a source outside the district or any cost incurred as a result of seeing or accepting such advice.  The district will not be responsible for financial obligations arising through the unauthorized use of the system.  The district is not responsible for the communication of individuals utilizing the network.About the Internet: The Internet is a collection of worldwide information networks that provides users with immediateaccess to information such as pictures, movie clips, articles and documents on almost any topic, anywhere in the world.These resources can be used for class projects and research and, as the technology develops, even more applicationswill be possible.This brochure contains many references to the advantages of the Internet and e-mail. While our intent is to makeInternet access available to achieve educational goals and objectives, students unfortunately may find their way to othermaterials that are illegal, defamatory, inaccurate or potentially offensive. To help address this problem, our teachers willguide students to evaluate what they access, and to use the Internet appropriately.When the telephone and television were invented dozens of years ago, they were viewed with the same fear andconcern as the Internet is today. We believe, however, that the Internet’s extraordinary benefits to students, in the formof information resources and opportunities for collaboration, far exceed the potential disadvantages.Electronic Mail: Electronic mail (E-mail), accessed through the Internet, will provide students with an opportunity tocommunicate with other White Plains students and with people from universities, organizations and other schools.New Teacher Orientation 2015-16 Technology Resources Page 63

Students will not automatically be given access to E-mail; teachers will determine when E-mail is necessary for thecompletion of a specific project.Selection of Materials: It is very important to us that students have a stimulating learning environment. At the sametime, we want to protect them from information that is not appropriate for their use. In fact, the district uses a blockingservice that limits our students’ access to sites when they are online on the Internet. But that’s not all we do.During school, teachers of our younger students will guide them toward appropriate materia1. Our teachers will play asignificant role in ensuring that online materials are consistent with the goals and objectives of the district by:  Selecting materials that are appropriate in light of the age of the students and the course objectives.  Previewing and determining the appropriateness of the materials and sites they require or recommend for student access.  Providing guidelines and lists of resources to assist students in channeling their research activities.  Assisting student in developing the skills to assess the truthfulness and value of information.  Of course, if students inadvertently access inappropriate information we hope they will immediately let a staff member know.  Outside of school, we believe families bear the same responsibility for guiding their children in the area of technology as they do with other information sources such as television, telephone, movies, radio and books.Who’s Who on the Internet? When individuals use the internet, they can’t see the person with whom they arecommunicating, how old or what sex the person is, or if the person is lying or telling the truth. It is for that reason thatour faculty will provide guidance and instruction to student in the appropriate use and evaluation of the Internet.The ABC’s of Network Behavior:Access: We believe that access to, or use of, the district’s network is a privilege that can open new and exciting worlds toour students. Access can be revoked, however, if a student breaks any of the rules governing the use of the network.Behavior: Students are responsible for good behavior on our schools computer network, just as in a classroom orhallway, or on a field trip. Students who have parental permission to use Email can use it for educational purposes only,and are not allowed to post chain letters or send annoying or unnecessary messages online. Since communications onthe network are public in nature, general school rules for behavior and communications apply.Copyright Rules & Plagiarism: Our teachers will instruct their students in appropriate research practices for writing apaper using information they find on the network. Students will not be allowed to plagiarize or to «steal» ideas orwritings they find online and pass them off as their own. They also will be expected to follow copyrighted laws if theydownload copyrighted material.Due Process: If a student breaks the rules governing the use of the network, the district reserves the right to suspend orterminate the student’s access to and use of the network. After providing the student with notice and opportunity to beheard in the manner set forth in the district’s Discipline Policy.Personal Safety: Computer information networks are public places where students will share cyberspace with millionsof other users. For their own safety and the safety of others, students are strongly advised not to share personalinformation about themselves (or others), and not to meet anyone with whom they have communicated online. IfNew Teacher Orientation 2015-16 Technology Resources Page 64

students receive messages that are inappropriate or which make them feel uncomfortable, they should promptly informa staff member.Privacy: Files stored on the district’s network will not be private, in fact network administrators will review them fromtime to time to maintain the system and ensure that it is being used responsibly. This routine maintenance andmonitoring may lead to the discovery that a user has violated, or is violating, the agreement that he/she signed. Thedistrict’s Discipline Policy, or for that matter, the law.Resource Limits: Since information networks have limited space capacities and we have thousands of network users,students should use the system only for educational and career development activities. In fact, at some point thedistrict may have to set a quota for disk usage on the system.Respect for Property: Students are expected to respect the school district’s network in much the same way as they areexpected to take care of school property. Vandalism of the network will result in the cancellation ofprivileges. Vandalism is defined as any attempt to harm, disrupt or destroy hardware, software or data of another user,the district network. Or other systems connected to the district network.Security: In any kind of computer system security is, of course, a big concern. Students should not attempt to gainunauthorized access to the district’s network or to any other computer system through the district’s network. Thisincludes attempting to log in through another person’s account or accessing another person’s files. Students shouldimmediately notify a staff person if they have identified a possible security problem.Software: A wide range of software (e.g. Microsoft Word, Excel, HyperStudio and Inspiration) is available on the networksystem, and will be updated and added to periodically. Students may use only this software, and may not load othersoftware onto the network or local workstations.Speech: Within reason, freedom of speech and access to information will be honored. When using the network tocommunicate with other members of the school community or with outsiders, students are expected to use languagethat is appropriate in a school setting, and not to engage in personal attacks or harassment, including prejudicial ordiscriminatory attacks.

Instruction 6161.5Acceptable Use of District Computer NetworksThe Board recognizes that as telecommunications and other new technologies shift the ways that information may be accessed,communicated, and transferred; these changes will alter instruction and learning. Electronic information sources and networkedservices open classrooms to a broader array of resources than ever before. Telecommunications enable students and employees toexplore thousands of libraries, databases, and bulletin Boards while exchanging messages with people throughout the world. TheBoard believes that the benefits to students and employees from access to information resources and opportunities forcollaboration exceed the risks associated with such access. While the Board supports access by students and employees to richinformation resources via telecommunications, it is imperative that users develop skills to safely analyze, evaluate, and use theinformation they find. The following guidelines outline District policy on the use of computer networks.1. The District computer network should be used only for educational purposes.Educational use of the computer networks includes classroom activities, professional development and individualized studentlearning. Additionally, the system may be used by employees to increase communication and enhance productivity. Somecomputer systems which can be accessed via telecommunications contain materials that are defamatory, inaccurate, obscene,profane, threatening, bigoted, or illegal. The District does not condone the use of such materials and does not permit use of suchmaterials in any District facilities, or on the District network.In accordance with the Children’s Internet Protection Act, the District will implement a centralized Internet filtering system thatprevents or blocks access to certain material on the Internet. Filtering is used to prevent users from accessing inappropriatematerial that is deemed “child pornography, obscene or harmful to minors.” The filtering system will be provided, maintained andmonitored by an external agency.2. Teachers should blend thoughtful use of on-line information throughout the curriculum and provide guidance and instruction tostudents in the appropriate use of such resources.In the past, instructional and library media materials could be screened prior to use. Telecommunications open classrooms toelectronic information resources which have not been screened by educators for use by students of various ages. The Board expectsthat teachers will honor the goals for the selection of instructional materials that frame the textbook adoption process whenselecting on-line information to use with students.3. Parents and legal guardians of students are to be made aware of the District’s policies governing use of its computer networks andthe consequences for violations of these policies.The District will provide students and parents/guardians with a guide to the appropriate use of District computer networks whichincludes guidelines for student network safety. It is expected that parents/guardians will ensure that their children understand andadhere to the District guidelines.The Board authorizes the Superintendent to establish regulations for implementing this policy and to review, evaluate, and revisesuch regulations as necessary.Policy adopted: 1/13/97 CITY SCHOOL DISTRICTPolicy revised: 10/15/01 City of White Plains, New YorkPolicy revised: 7/1/10Policy adopted: 7/6/10References: 20 U.S.C. 6777New Teacher Orientation 2015-16 Technology Resources Page 68

Community Relations 1111.2Internet PublicationsThe Internet and the World Wide Web present the district with an opportunity to provide information to parents, the community,and the world about our schools, our mission, and our curruculum instruction. The Board charges the district administration with theresponsibility for establishing and maintaining a district-level presence on there World Wide Web.The availability of Internet access in White Plains schools provides an educational opportunity for students and staff to contributy tothe district’s presence on thr orld Wide Web. The Board encourages individual schools, classes, teachers, and school programs tocreate Web pages on the district site which share their activities and which provide new information resources to Web users.When developing and publishing Web pages, creators must follow the content and technical standards established by the districtadministration. Every reasonable precaution must be taken to ensure the safety of our students and the security of our systems.The White Plains Web Site Should be:  an intuitive and easily navigable structure for accessing information about the district;  an interactive means of electronic communication among memebersof the administration, faculty, student-bod, parents, associated organizations and community;  a place to showcase innovative teaching strategies, global classroom projects and student multimedia presentations;  a gateway to reliable information resources and educational sites on the World Wide Web.Content StandardsBuilding and district administrators, the Office of Instructional Technology and the Parent Information Center are responsible forWeb page approval. Representatives from these groups will form a Web Publishing Committee to oversee Web publishing activitiesin the district. All pages on the district Web site must meet the following content standards. 1. Subject Matter All subject matter on Web pages should relate to curriculum, instruction, school-authorized activities, and general information that is appropriate and of interest to others , or it should relate to the school district, or the schools within the district. Therefore, neither staff nor students may publish perosnal pages as part of the district Web sites, or pages for other individuals or organizations not directly affiliated with the district. Neither students nor staff may use the district’s Web pages to provide access to their personal pages on other servers or online services. Staff or student work may be published only as it relates to a class project, course, or other school-related activity. Direct links on district Web pages to other systems should follow the same guidelines as materials published on the system itself. If the material would be inappropriate on the district system, then direct links to it on another system would also be inappropriate. The Office of Instructional Technology and the Parent Information Center administrators will determine if links bring inappropriate materials too close to the systems (even if removed by several links) and will ask authors to remove such links from their pages. 2. Qualilty All web page work must be free of spelling, gramatical, and mechanical errors. Regarding the question of quality or propriety of Web page material, appearance, or content, the judgement of the aforementioned Web Publishing Committee will prevail.New Teacher Orientation 2015-16 Technology Resources Page 73

Design and Technical StandardsEach page that is part of the district Web site must contain certain elements that will ensure design and technical consistency.Templates will be provided as the starting point for all Web page authors.

All Web pages must be given names that clearly identify them. The names of all documents shall coincide with current district naming practices and structures for the Web site. 10. Any graphics, sounds, or video used on Web pages must conform to the format currently used or approved by the district for the Web site. 11.
