STUDENTS

It is important to use the technology tools at school responsibly and in the way my teacher has demonstrated. I understand that I am a member of the Santa Cruz COE community and my actions must represent a citizen who exudes collaboration, integrity, and respect towards all individuals and property. I understand that my use of district technology is a privilege, not a right, and the district can withdraw this privilege if I violate this Technology Use Agreement or other district rules regarding using the district’s technology tools and services.
