My name is Tony Nelson, and I serve as the Director of Information Security, Systems, and Infrastructure at The Howard School.

At The Howard School, we believe technology plays an important role in supporting learning, creativity, and collaboration. We are committed to providing a safe, secure, and supportive digital environment where students can confidently use technology to enhance their educational experience.

To help ensure a positive experience for everyone, we ask that both students and their parents or guardians review and acknowledge the school's Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). This policy outlines our shared expectations for the responsible use of The Howard School's technology resources, including our network, systems, devices, and internet access. It also explains the responsibilities that come with using these resources so that together we can maintain a secure, respectful, and productive learning environment for our entire school community.

Thank you for partnering with us in helping create a safe and successful digital learning experience for all students.

The Acceptable Usage Policy serves to:

Promote responsible use of technology.
Protect students, staff, and the school’s network from potential risks, including security threats and inappropriate content.
Align with our core values and educational mission.
