Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Acceptable Use Policy (AUP)?
Each student, upon registering in the District 308 school, must sign the district's AUP. This document, officially called the Guidelines for Acceptable Use of the Computer Network System, states that the student agrees to use the school computer equipment for educational purposes only. Failure to comply with these guidelines will result in disciplinary action. All staff must work together to ensure that students are following the guidelines whenever they are using school computers. Students are not allowed to change any computer settings, play games, send instant messages, or visit inappropriate sites.

Do I need a pass to come to the LRC? Even during lunch?
Yes. Students need a pass any time they visit the LRC without a teacher. When teachers send a group of students to the LRC, we ask that they write a pass for each student. The students must turn their passes in to the circulation desk, as well as log in to the attendance cart during Guided Study hours. This provides verification that the student did arrive. It also allows the LRC staff to have a record of which students are in the room in case of an emergency. When students are ready to leave the LRC to return to class, their pass will be signed and the time of their departure will be noted.
