Bond County Community Unit #2 Acceptable Use Policy / CIPA ComplianceThis policy covers the use of three basic levels of network technology use.  The Local Area Network (LAN) which consists of all networked computers within Bond County Community Unit #2 Schools (BCCU#2), the Wide Area Network (WAN) which consists of the network that connects the various educational centers of the district, and the Internet (World Wide Web).  Within each of these networks, all hardware, software, and related peripherals used in connecting to or as a part of the network are included in this policy.  In addition, all computers owned or leased by BCCU#2 shall be included under this policy.

The district’s network and Internet resources support the schools’ curriculum, the Illinois Learning Standards, and also supports and enhances innovative instruction and educational excellence.  The Bond County Community Unit #2 will make every effort to protect students and staff from any misuses or abuses of the Network services.  All users must be continuously on guard to avoid inappropriate and illegal interaction with the resources of the district Network.

Sign up for an account to gain better insight into how your student is using their Chromebook at home and at school.  All Chromebooks are being filtered and monitored using Family Zone's Linewize while at school and at home. Teachers are using Classwize to supervise and view student screens in the classroom and Familywize is a resource for our families. There are tutorials on how to enable safety measures on your child's personal device, app and game reviews and up-to-date parent advice. 

1. District staff sign an Acceptable Use Policy agreement before any use of the Network annually.  Students and parents/guardians also sign an Acceptable Use Policy agreement annually.  Signature sheets are kept on record.
