Electronic Communications and Data Management
Parental permission is necessary in order for the student to participate in the use of the district’s electronic communications system, ECS, (computer email and internet systems). Participation in the ESC allows students to communicate with other schools, colleges, organizations, and individuals around the world through the Internet and other electronic information systems/networks. Furthermore, the students will have access to hundreds of databases, libraries, and computer services all over the world. It is important for students and parents to read the district policy and administrative regulations related to computer use within the school setting. [For more information, see CQ (LOCAL).] Inappropriate use of the system could result in the loss of privilege to use this educational tool. It should be noted that the Internet is an association of diverse communication and information networks. It is possible that students might be exposed to areas of adult content and objectionable materials while using the Internet. While the District will take reasonable steps to preclude access to such material and does not encourage or allow such access, it is not possible to guarantee that such exposure will not occur. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Please read, sign, date, detach, and return this form within the first 10 days of school.

At Bremond Middle School, corporal punishment is utilized as a last resort. Other disciplinary and behavior modification methods are often more effective with students rather than corporal punishment. If corporal punishment is used with a student, all district policies are followed and all means are taken to prevent injury. In the case that an incident occurs where corporal punishment is considered as a disciplinary option for your child, please indicate your preferences below. ____ ____ I give permission for corporal punishment to be used with my child. I do NOT give permission for corporal punishment to be used with my child.
