INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ACCEPTABLE
USE POLICY HIGHLIGHTS
TFS asks that all students, volunteers and parents/
guardians obey all laws/regulations and the
Information Technology Acceptable Use Policy in
connection to the use of TFS' computers, email,
Internet and intranet access, databases and other
computer and communication systems, including
without limitation cloud-based servers that are
accessible through TFS' computers (hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "Computer Network").
Members are expected to use the Computer Network
in a responsible and productive manner. The school
expects students to use the Computer Network, since
it is an integral part of the TFS curriculum, and grants
them the privilege of using the Computer Network
to further their learning. By accessing the Computer
Network, members consent and agree to be bound by
the terms of this policy, as it may be amended from
time to time at the sole discretion of TFS.
We ask that adults and students demonstrate courtesy
and good judgement in their cell phone usage and
adhere to the following guidelines.
1) Cell phones and other handheld or wearable
electronic communication devices are to be turned
off, placed in lockers and, at the Junior School,
West Campus and Senior School up to Level II
(inclusive), not used at any point during the school
day. At the Senior School, starting in Level III they
cannot be used during class time, unless otherwise
specified (this includes classes, assemblies and
concerts, or other special events). This will minimize
disruptions and ensure that teachers have the
students' full attention.
2) Cell phones and other handheld or wearable
electronic communication devices are strictly
forbidden in test or exam rooms, unless otherwise
specified. Students are asked to keep these items
in their lockers.
3) No pictures or videos are to be taken with cell
phones or other handheld or wearable electronic
communication devices without the subject's
explicit consent.
4) The use of cell phones, handheld or wearable
electronic communication devices is strictly
forbidden in washrooms, change rooms and the
pool area.
5) Members should not post student names via
tagging on TFS social media sites, such as
Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. If that occurs, the
name will be removed and the user informed, if
possible, of the reason for the deletion.
6) Members must not publish, distribute or post
online photographs or videos of other members
or of TFS staff that may embarrass the individuals
photographed.
Notwithstanding the guidelines, the school at its
sole discretion reserves the right to restrict cell
phone and wearable electronic communication
device use at any time.

Policy. All policies are available in the TFS Policies
