Monitoring of PWCS Computer Systems and Network
Pursuant to PWCS Regulation 295-1, “Computer Systems and Network Services - PWCS Responsible Use and Internet Safety Policy," employees, students, and users of PWCS guest networks have no expectation of privacy in their use of school computers or internet services, nor does the use of PWCS computers or related venues create a public forum under the freedom of speech provisions of the federal and state constitutions. The division retains the right to monitor all computer and internet activity by employees and students; and any information or communications transmitted on PWCS computer systems and network services may be intercepted, recorded, read, copied, and disclosed by and to authorized personnel for official purposes, including administrative and criminal investigations. Use of PWCS computers, networks, and internet systems is a privilege, not a right, and can be withdrawn by the division at any time.
Safety Screening Technology
PWCS utilizes safety screening technology at middle and high schools, including traditional and nontraditional schools. Currently, there are no plans for implementation at elementary schools. Students are expected to utilize designated entrances only. Entering or assisting others to enter nonauthorized entries is a violation of the Code of Behavior and can lead to suspension or a recommendation for further disciplinary action. For additional information on the use of safety screening technology, visit the Safety Screening Technology webpage on the PWCS website.
Video Security
Please be aware that security cameras are in all PWCS buildings and will be used to promote the safety and security of all PWCS students, staff, and property.
