  Students have access to the Internet but must have an Internet Card.  Students may get an Internet Card by getting parent permission by signing our Acceptable Use Policy form.  This form will be given to your child at the beginning of the year and returned to school.  Your child will receive a card that must be carried with them at all times.  Students failing to show proof will not be permitted to access the Internet.
