Full policy

Myeportal.net recognizes the value of computer and other electronic resources to improve student learning and enhance the administration and operation of its schools. To this end, myeportal.net encourages the responsible use of computers; computer networks, including the Internet; and other electronic resources in support of the mission and goals of myeportal.net and its schools.

Because the Internet is an unregulated, worldwide vehicle for communication, information available to staff and students is impossible to control. Therefore, myeportal.net adopts this policy governing the voluntary use of electronic resources and the Internet in order to provide guidance to individuals and groups obtaining access to these resources on myeportal.net-owned equipment or through myeportal.net-affiliated organizations.
