| Bus Pass Reimbursements Given that high school students in the metropolitan Quebec City area must use the public transportation network to travel to and from school, the School Board shall reimburse 70% of the cost of the student’s bus pass. Parents/students will purchase bus passes and reimbursements will be issued twice yearly, in January and in July based on a list of students provided by the school who are using the STCUQ. Communication Parents who wish to get an urgent message to a student should call the school before announcements are made, i.e. before 8:30 a.m. or before 3:00 p.m. Computers/Internet The school board believes that the Internet and computer facilities are educational tools that are an essential part of a student’s basic education. All computer usage must respect the mission of the school. Unfortunately, we know that we cannot completely control material that students may access on the Internet or on the school facilities. 1. Use of the computer facilities is a privilege and not a right. Abuse of these guidelines, and of those established by the school, may lead to loss or suspension of the student’s access to these facilities. A decision by the Board or a school level administrator to revoke such use is final and may result in additional disciplinary action. 2. Appropriate and ethical use includes: · a respect for the rights of others: students must be polite, responsible, use appropriate language, respect confidentiality (accessing someone else’s code, files, etc.. is not permitted); · a commitment to use the Internet wisely; · use or support of heinous, obscene or illegal activities is prohibited. · placing only lawful information on the system (i.e. respect copyright) 3. Computer facilities are shared resources to be used for educational purposes according to guidelines established by the school. 4. The student and/or parent will not hold the teacher, school, or School board liable for accidental exposure to inappropriate materials from the Internet or on the school facilities. Course Changes Students select courses in the spring of each year. The requests are computerised and schedules are produced over the summer. It is difficult to accommodate class changes in September, so we urge you to make your initial course selection carefully. Course changes will be considered for only one or two days in early September. |
