GRAINGER COUNTY SCHOOL SYSTEM GUIDELINES FOR ACCEPTABLE USE TO INTERNET AND NETWORKS
Our goal in providing internet service to teachers and students is to promote educational excellence by facilitating resource sharing, innovation, and communication. Our connection provides direct access to the Internet. The Internet is an "electronic highway" connecting millions of computers all over the world., and millions of individual users.

With access to computers and people all over the world also come the availability of material that may not be considered to be of educational value in the context of the school setting. Internet access is coordinated through a complex association of government agencies, and regional and state networks. In addition, the smooth operation of the network relies upon the proper conduct of the end users who must adhere to strict guidelines.

Students in Grainger County will participate in projects using the Internet in a directed manner to support curriculum and research activities.
