Technology Policy

Using computers in school is different from the way you might use your computer at home. For the protection of all students there are restrictions to Internet use at school.

If you would like your child to use the Internet at school you need to first sign an Acceptance User Policy (AUP) stating that you and your child understand how the computers are to be used in the Newark Public Schools. This form is filed with the Technology Coordinator while the child is a student at Mount Vernon.

Any questions on this policy please contact the Technology Coordinator. Technology AUP Policy
