Internet Access for Students         

• Internet access is available to students through the VSB District network
• Students are able to use the library page of the school website to read books, do research and find library resources and much more.  
• Students will also be going online to work on projects, play educational games, communicate and view the school website

Rules of Netiquette

• The rules online are the same as the rules of face to face communication
• Students are responsible for following the Code of Conduct
• Demonstrating respectful language and treatment of all peers is an expectation
• Everything posted online is a “digital tattoo” that stays with you FOREVER. You are responsible for all of your online behaviour and it can be traced back to you
