Please Read Carefully
Boys & Girls Club of Fond du Lac is committed to providing safe use of technology and online safety for members. The acceptable use policy provides the framework for those safety practices and procedures.
Club Member Usage
Before a member will be allowed to use Club technology equipment or their personal device, both the member and his/her parent/guardian will need to read and sign the Technology Acceptable Use policy and return it to the Club.
Authorized Use
Club devices and personally owned devices are permitted for use during approved Club times for Club purposes and in approved locations only. The Club expressly prohibits the use of Club devices or personally owned devices in locker rooms, restrooms and other areas where there is an expectation of privacy.
Appropriate Use
Members may not use any technology to harass, threaten, demean, humiliate, intimidate, embarrass or annoy their peers or others in their community. Any inappropriate use of a Club or personally owned device, as determined by Club staff, can lead to disciplinary action including but not limited to confiscation of the device, immediate suspension from the Club, termination of membership or other disciplinary actions determined to be appropriate to the Club’s existing disciplinary policies including, if applicable, referral to local law enforcement.
Cyberbullying
Members may not utilize any technology to harass, threaten, demean, humiliate, intimidate, embarrass or annoy their peers or others in their community. This behavior is cyberbullying, which is defined as bullying that takes place using emerging technologies and devices. Any cyberbullying that is determined to disrupt the safety and/or well-being of the Club, Club members, Club staff or community is subject to disciplinary action.
Monitoring and inspection
Boys & Girls Clubs of Fond du Lac reserves the right to monitor, inspect, copy and review files stored on Club-owned devices or networks. In addition, BGCFDL reserves the right to inspect and/or review personally owned devices that are brought to the Club. Parents/guardians will be notified before such an inspection takes place and may be present, at their choice, during the inspection. Parents/guardians may refuse to allow such inspections but the member may be barred from bringing personally owned devices to the Club in the future.
Digital Citizenship
Club members shall conduct themselves online in a manner that is aligned with the BGCFDL Behavior Support Policy. The same rules and guidelines members are expected to follow offline (i.e., in the real world) shall also be followed when online. Should a member behave online in a manner that violates the BGCFDL Behavior Support Policy, that member shall face the same discipline policy and actions they would if their behavior had happened within the physical Club environment.
