Webb School Information Network

The Webb School Information Network provides a powerful resource for all members of the Webb School community. However, with this power comes responsibility. The computers and information network at Webb School are provided for responsible users. Ethical questions surrounding the use of computers and other related technologies are the same as those found in other aspects of life at Webb School and covered by the Honor Code.

In addition, students and parents are reminded that the use of technology in any form (including, but not limited to, social networking sites) to intimidate, bully, harass, demean, and/or verbally attack a member of the student body, faculty, staff, or another parent will be treated as a major disciplinary event which may result in expulsion from Webb School. This includes actions described above that are generated off campus.

Moreover, students are expected to abide by the Webb School Honor Code with regard to plagiarism and provide appropriate documentation for any and all material found on the internet.

Finally, students are expected to respect the right to privacy of others. Students are not allowed to access or use another student’s personal computer information, and students are not allowed to access another student’s email account.

Any violation of the school’s Computer Code of Ethics may be an honor and/or disciplinary event. The school will determine the type of offense.

Webb School has the right and responsibility to monitor student email accounts and to monitor all material downloaded from the internet.
