As members of online communities, we work to make choices that uphold our commitment to the BB&N School Motto: Honor, Scholarship, Kindness.  We acknowledge that how we choose to use technology and show up online is an expression of who we are. Those choices represent us and can create a permanent digital footprint that may be accessed even if deleted.*

 

Honor: 

You are responsible for your online reputation and for protecting yours and others’ privacy.

• Think before you click

• Avoid oversharing

• Keep passwords and personal identifying information private (email addresses, phone numbers, mail addresses, names, photos, videos, etc.)

 

Scholarship: 

Include proper citations in your academic work when using content from sources online (or otherwise).**

Avoid anything online that is a distraction or off-task.

• Social Media (never allowed at school): online games, iMessage, online chat, scrolling

• Academic: work or preparation for a different class 

• Media: unassigned eBooks, videos, music, TV shows/movies/shorts, podcasts

 

Kindness:

Engage in positive behavior and interactions online.

• Respect the viewpoints and ideas of others

• Disagree respectfully 

• Do not write or forward unkind words or rumors; do not reshare negativity.

 

Any violation of these expectations can result in an automatic detention with potential review by Grade Deans and Middle School Director.
