The Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) complies with federal and state telecommunications codes, laws, and regulations, including those of the Commonwealth of Virginia. This policy applies to all technology-based devices used within Arlington Public Schools (APS), including personal devices brought into schools. Use of APS digital devices and network services is a privilege, not a right. All usage must comply with Arlington School Board policies and implementation procedures. Students are required to follow all instructions from school staff regarding the use of digital devices and the network. If a student encounters inappropriate content or becomes aware of a security or hardware issue, they must immediately notify an administrator.Each student and their parent/guardian must sign the Electronic Technologies Acceptable Use Agreement prior to using APS digital devices or network services. The primary purpose of APS devices and network services is for educational and instructional activities. To ensure appropriate use, students must comply with all Arlington Public Schools policies, adhere to fair-use laws and copyright regulations when accessing or using Internet resources and network materials, and avoid any actions that interfere with the educational purpose of these resources.
