The Internet is available to students and staff in Creighton Community School. The Internet offers vast, diverse, and unique resources to both students and teachers. Our goal to use computers and other technologies as tools for teaching and learning in all grades and subject areas is enhanced by providing this service. Excellence in both teaching and learning is promoted in the schools by facilitating resource sharing, innovation, and communication. 

The Internet can provide the students with access to the most recent research and the most up-to-date statistics, on-line resources, and opinions. However, the interconnected world-wide web of computers can also provide the students with access to less than desirable information. While it is in fact impossible to completely protect the students from accidental exposure to inappropriate materials, it is important that the division have an acceptable use policy to provide guidelines for the use of this important informational resource by its students.

It is expected that students and staff will conduct themselves according to the social and cultural norms of their community and this acceptable use policy.
