**Read this carefully. Then keep it so you can refer to it later.**

This agreement covers my life at school and at home and this is the agreement I must follow:

1. School computers are to help me with classroom learning. They are not for play. 2. It is important to keep safe while using the Internet so I will follow the safety rules. 3. The only time I can use the internet at school is when a teacher is present. 4. I am not allowed to try and look up things on the Internet which I know are not for children. 5. I must be sensible when using the internet and other communication technologies. 6. I know that I must not do anything that would hurt me or someone else, even as a joke online. 7. I will only make positive comments online about Pinehill School, Staff, Students & Parents.

I agree that:
 * I will look after our equipment and devices
 * I will ask permission to print
 * I will use a pen drive only to back up work or to take work home
 * I will be considerate of other users and respect their privacy
 * I will always use e-Learning tools to communicate with others in positive ways

**Parents / Caregivers**

I have read the Pinehill School Student Digital Citizenship Agreement and understand there will be serious consequences if the agreement is broken. I have gone over the information with my child and explained its importance. I also understand that if my child steals or damages equipment this could result in the home receiving a bill for the cost of replacement parts or repairs.

I understand that while the school will do its best to restrict student access to offensive, dangerous or illegal material on the internet or other communication technologies, it is the responsibility of my child to have no involvement in such material or activities.

I understand that my child's history of use and activity is monitored.

I give my permission for …………………………………………… Room …….. to be given access at school to computers, the Internet and other communication technologies.
