Hot+Spot+Info+-+W+Hartman

Below is the email that was sent to students when the LMC hotspot was put in place. Keep in mind, students can only access the hotspot in the LMC and it does not connect to the network. We currently do not have a process for them to log into our network with their own devices, but hope to do this in the future. This e-mail was approved by our superintendent and HS principal. Parents also have the option of requesting that their student(s) not be allowed on the hotspot and we respect that. So far, only 2 families have requested that.

The LMC now has an internet hotspot that is available to high school students, visitors, and staff. This means you can check your Facebook and email accounts, play games, view YouTube videos, stream music, etc. The following rules apply: 10 students unless prior permission has been granted. reports. for lost and/or damaged library items. LMC has some netbooks and ipods you can use, but they are subject to availability. activities that threaten, harass, or bully others. Please use good judgement or lose this privilege. bring your own or buy a set from the LMC for $1. We are not be responsible for any viruses that are downloaded via the hotspot. food/drinks, etc. Normal consequences also apply. frequently. Obtain the password from Mrs. Ritchie or me. Information about your activities on the internet will be gathered, but is * not* tracked the way it is for the school network/computers. This information is gathered only so that we can meet the requirements of Charter Communications (the internet service provider for the hotspot) and/or law enforcment agencies and will be used in the case of potentially illegal and/or harassing activities. By accepting the password to the hotspot, you are also agreeing that you will provide the MAC address and/or name of your device, if requested. Every electronic device has its own unique MAC address and/or name. If Charter Communications and/or law enforcement authorities request that we determine who was using the hotspot for potentially illegal or harassing activities, you may be asked to provide your device's MAC address and/or name. Refusal to provide the MAC address will result in the complaint being turned over to authorities for legal action.
