IntroductIon

Woodberry Forest school

the purpose of Woodberry Forest school is to develop in its students, under christian principles, a high sense of honor and moral integrity, a deep respect for sound scholarship, a full acceptance of responsibility, and a will toward personal sacrifice in service to others. It is likewise its purpose, based on these ideals, to train its students toward a useful contribution to the democratic society in which they live and to give them thorough preparation for the best colleges and universities within the reach of their individual potentials. the stan-dards are demanding, and under them only boys of ability and strong character will succeed.

to the students

It is the responsibility of every student to familiarize himself with the content of this book, which articulates the rules and guidelines concerning conduct and many facets of life at Woodberry Forest. Issues that are brought to your attention in this book are meant to be handled by the disciplinary system, a separate and distinct system from the honor system, which deals with cases involving lying, cheating, stealing, and other issues of honor. the regulations in this book do not cover every detail or every situation that may arise. A student who finds himself in doubt about anything should ask a faculty member, rather than decide on his own, what is permissible.

the Woodberry Forest school disciplinary rules, regulations, and guidelines apply to a student when he is under school jurisdiction. A student is under school jurisdiction when he is on the school property, in transit to or from the school property, and during off-campus trips or activities sponsored by the school. A student is under parental jurisdiction during vacations and when he is on overnight leaves of absence granted with parental permission. If any overnight leave of absence coincides with any school-sponsored trip or activity, a student remains under school jurisdiction until the trip or activity is over and the student has left the destination of the trip or activity. Woodberry Forest school strongly encourages the parents of its students to support

4

the principles and guidelines of conduct articulated in the Blue Book when a student is under parental jurisdiction.

the headmaster shall make the final determination as to the interpretation of any rule. At his discretion, the headmaster may deal directly with any situation that the rules do not clearly cover or in which he feels the spirit of a rule has been violated. All students must understand that they represent Woodberry Forest school at all times. Any behavior at any time that, in the opinion of the headmaster, is detrimental to the name of the school will jeopardize the student’s position in the school.

7

PArt II

MAjor school rulesthe rules outlined in this section are especially important to the

tradition of the school and the principles upon which it is founded.

the WhIte FlAG

because Woodberry is a community founded on trust, many build-ings and belongings are not formally secured. A “white flag” means do not enter, touch, or use and may refer to a building, a room, or any object within a room. only faculty members and prefects may place a white flag.

Faculty desks, computers, audiovisual equipment, unoccupied dorm rooms, computer network closets, electrical closets, boiler rooms, roofs of any buildings, and storage areas are all considered white flag. breaking a white flag may call a student’s honor into question.

unoccuPIed rooM rule

When a student enters a room other than his own while the resi-dents are not present, he places himself at risk of being suspected of an honor violation. under no circumstances should a student enter an unoccupied room unaccompanied by a faculty member or prefect.

students may not enter or occupy another student’s room unless he is present. no student may give another student permission to stay in his room while he steps out for even a short time. If a student needs to retrieve one of his belongings that was left in another student’s room, he may enter the room accompanied by a faculty member or prefect to retrieve that item.

tobAcco

tobacco and nicotine are detriments to the health and well-being of young men. Any tobacco product or nicotine delivery device of any kind is prohibited.

Motor VehIcles

students may not keep motor vehicles on campus. students may only operate motor vehicles on campus when in the company of their parents.

8

students may ride in a car so long as the driver is nineteen years of age and the student has the permission of a parent and the admin-istrative master.

Parents may not leave cars on campus or with school employees for their sons to use to drive home for breaks or weekends.

9

PArt III

dIscIPlInAry systeMthe disciplinary system is overseen by the headmaster and enforced

by the dean of students through education and demerits. demerits may be given by faculty members and members of the sixth form to any student found to be acting outside of the Woodberry standards of conduct. Any infraction of a guideline set forth in this book renders a student liable to receive demerits, and a large accumulation of demerits puts that student at risk of being dismissed from school. you should read the following sections carefully to acquaint yourself with the standards of the school.

A student should strive to avoid accumulating demerits as doing so jeopardizes his place as a student at Woodberry Forest school.

deMerIt hAll

If the number of demerits a student receives between the period extending from Wednesday to Wednesday morning is equal to or greater than five, he is required to attend demerit hall on saturday evening from 7:00–9:00 p.m.

students in demerit hall may not take weekends.

demerit hall may not be deferred.

dIscIPlInAry ActIons

once a student receives seventy-five demerits, he will be placed on disciplinary probation. students on probation have their renewal contracts for the upcoming school year withheld for further review until the end of the current school year. In addition, students earning more than seventy-five demerits will be required to have a consultation with the dean of students (with his adviser present). his parents will receive a letter notifying them that he is on probation.

A student who earns fewer than ten demerits in the ten weeks fol-lowing his placement on disciplinary probation may, at the discretion of the dean of students, be removed from probation. should a student earn additional demerits after being removed from disciplinary proba-tion, he may be placed on probation a second time.

10

A student with more than 100 demerits renders himself liable for suspension from the school.

Periodically, at the discretion of the dean of students, extra week-day demerit work may be offered. this work is offered at five demerits per hour of work. In the week in which demerit work is offered, the number of demerits a student works off may not exceed ten or bring his balance to fewer than five.

All students must work off their last five demerits in saturday demerit hall.

A student on disciplinary probation may not work as a sports camp instructor.

students may be asked to leave the school at any time during the year if they fail to adhere to the Woodberry standards of conduct, regardless of whether they are on probation.

use oF Woodberry lAnd & the rAPIdAn rIVer

the Woodberry campus is a paradise for anyone who loves the outdoors. this land is a treasured legacy handed down, and each gen-eration must see themselves as stewards who take care of what has been entrusted to them. students are encouraged to camp, hunt, fish, hike, bike, relax, and play at the river, but they are expected to practice good, responsible habits. they should always try to leave the land better than they found it.

there is no way to list every possible infraction. the basic rule is this: use common sense and good judgment, remembering always that the land is not yours and that it is precious. expect that anything (whether it has been listed as a “rule” or not) that violates common sense and good judgment will be considered unacceptable. here are a few basic rules:

1. you may not build permanent structures. A “lean-to” with a well-secured tarp is acceptable, but it must come down at the end of the year.

2. leave trees and saplings alone. For example: no skinning, hacking, or cutting, and no nails.

3. never leave trash. take out what you take in. 4. never excavate or dig out a riverbank. 5. never put debris (of any kind) into the river. 6. build fires only in ringed pits and never during fire bans. 7. close gates behind you. 8. climb gates at the hinges and fences at the posts. 9. do not carry in any item that doesn’t belong there (e.g., charcoal

grills). 10. stay on Woodberry land. note: on the highway 15 end of

the river, the property line is marked by a deep, wide ditch and an old rock wall; on the brampton end, the property ends at the corner where the Perimeter trail exits the woods for the last time (heading up toward “shack’s hill”). see Mr. hale if you have questions.

11. no fort is to be made and no new land is to be cleared without the express permission of the student river committee. no fort can be claimed or “handed down” without permission of the committee.

14

12. be safe. be careful with hatchets, axes, saws, and knives; stay out of the river in high water.

13. students who are at either the river, lake, fields, or woods must return to the main part of campus by dark.

snoW PolIcIes

there are to be no snowball fights at Woodberry Forest school. no student may tackle another student in the snow. Particular care is to be taken that no student be subjected to snow-related injuries.

Pool PolIcIes

the indoor and outdoor pools may only be used during posted pool hours when a lifeguard is on duty. obey all posted pool rules.

GenerAl

Any student who keeps a bicycle or scooter at school is expected to keep it locked when it is not in use. taking or using some one’s personal property (bicycle, scooter, etc.) without specific per mission may result in serious disciplinary penalties and may fall into the category of an honor violation.A student who uses rollerblades, a skateboard, or a bicycle must wear protective equipment, particularly a safety helmet.students may not skateboard or use a scooter on rails or vertical bricks on campus.students must remain inside Perimeter road after 7:00 p.m. or dusk, whichever comes first. the only areas permissible outside Perimeter road after dusk are the Manning Family science building, the Walker Fine Arts center, the barbee center, the squash Pavilion, the dick Gym, and faculty residences. no student may produce or sell any item on campus without first obtaining the permission of the dean of students.

When leaving campus for a weekend, a student is required to sign his name and note the time of his departure on the special weekend roster in the front office; when a student returns from his weekend leave, he must sign in on the weekend roster in the front office and indicate the time he arrived.A student may not attend an on-campus or off-campus mixer while on a weekend leave.returning later than 6:15 p.m. from a weekend is a serious demerit offense. When a student realizes that he is going to be late returning to school, he should notify the administrative master or leave a message at the switchboard. notifying the school when a student is returning late from a weekend does not constitute permission to return late.

short Weekend leAVes

A short weekend leave begins at 11:15 a.m. on saturday, or after the student’s last academic, athletic, or other school commit ment, and ends no later than 6:15 p.m. on sunday. students may not miss any classes to depart early for a short weekend.

25

since short weekends begin at 11:15 a.m. on saturday, the ear-liest possible time to provide transportation for students is 11:15 a.m. All school transportation will depart campus at 11:15 a.m. for short weekends.

students are allowed the following number of short weekends.

Form III – two short weekends per trimester

Form IV – three short weekends per trimester

Form V – Four short weekends per trimester

Form VI – Five short weekends per trimester

lonG Weekend leAVes

A long weekend begins Friday after a student’s last school commit-ment and ends sunday at 6:15 p.m. students may not miss any classes on Friday in order to leave early.

A long weekend extends from Friday after classes to 6:00 p.m. sunday evening. since classes end at 12:30 p.m. on Friday afternoon, the earliest possible time to provide transportation for students is 12:45 p.m. All school transportation will depart campus at 12:45 p.m. for long weekends.

A long weekend is formed by using two short weekends. students have three long weekends to use at their discretion

throughout the year.

extrA Weekends

students who do not earn any demerits in a trimester are rewarded with an extra long weekend.

All students in good academic and demerit standing are permitted to carry over one unused weekend from one trimester to the next. no weekends can be carried over from one academic year to another.

colleGe dAys

students are granted three days during their fifth- and sixth-form years when they may miss class to visit colleges they are considering attending. students may take college days with the permission of their teachers, college counselor, and the dean of students. college visits are most productive when a student visits on a weekday during which he is

26

able to see the daily life of the students/college. the exception to this rule is when the admissions office has scheduled an open house; these programs often allow the student a comprehensive view of the school in a short period of time. our expectation for any college visit is that the student is having a tour, attending a question-and-answer session, having an interview, if possible, and visiting a class. A college day may not take place solely on a weekend. We encourage students to use these days wisely. the college counseling office reserves the right to refuse permission for a student to miss class to visit a college if they do not think that the student has a genuine interest in the college. If a student wishes to spend the night off campus on a weekend, he may use a long or short weekend in conjunction with a college day.

the request for a college weekend should be approved and initialed by the college counselor before being submitted to other faculty mem-bers for their signature. college days are not granted after May 1.

VIsItors on cAMPus

A boy may invite a date to spend the weekend at Woodberry Forest provided he has the advance permissions of his adviser, the dean of students, and a facul ty member willing to host his date. such permis-sions should be secured at least three days in advance of such a visit.

boys and their dates are subject to all rules and regula tions govern-ing school life.

Visiting dates may arrive saturday after 11:00 a.m. and must depart by noon sunday.

dates visiting campus on weekdays must depart by 6:00 p.m.Guests may not visit campus after 6:00 p.m. on weeknights. on saturday night dates are to return to the house where they

are staying by 11:00 p.m., and boys are to return to their dorms by the normal on-dorm hour. dates may neither leave the house where they are staying nor be visited by a student before 8:00 a.m.

the only dormitory areas that a date may visit are the public areas of the Walker building.

If a date who is not eighteen arrives with a car, the car must remain parked throughout the entire visit.

If a boy has a guest on campus, the guest must check in at the switchboard and the student must introduce the guest to the admin-istrative master.

27

no one except current students at the school or prospective students may spend the night in a dormitory without specific permission from the administrative master.

Any student noticing an off-campus visitor to the community who appears to have no purpose at the school should imme diately report this to the administrative master.

AcAdeMIc lIFe & AthletIcs

FAculty AdVIsers

each student is assigned a faculty adviser who writes a progress report that is sent home at regular intervals.

A student usually retains the same adviser throughout his stay at the school. however, a student or faculty member who feels that his adviser/advisee relationship is not satisfac tory may request a change at the end of the school year by seeing the dean of students. requests to change advisers will only be reviewed at the end of the year; mid-year requests will not be granted.

AcAdeMIc reQuIreMents

In order to graduate, a four-year student must meet the following requirements:

english 12 trimesters, 4 credits

Fine arts 3 trimesters, 1 credit

Foreign language 9 trimesters, 3 credits

history 9 trimesters, 3 creditsAncient civilizations (third form)Modern european history (fourth form)united states history (fifth form)

math 9 trimesters, 3 credits (one course beyond Algebra 2)

religion 1 trimester, 1/3 creditrequired trimester course, Introduction to the bible

(fourth form)

sCienCe 9 trimesters, 3 creditsconceptual Physics (third form)chemistry (fourth form)biology (fifth form)

eleCtives 8 trimesters, 2 2/3 credits

total 20 credits

29

For students entering in the fourth- or fifth-form year, some of these requirements will be reduced accordingly.

All students, regardless of the year in which they enter the school, must meet the community service requirement of sixty hours. of these, at least thirty must be “contact” hours that bring the boy into direct involve-ment with those less fortunate than he. hours earned before admission to Woodberry do not count toward this requirement. students should consult with the community service coordinator in advance to determine whether or not their proposed projects meet the requirement.

AcAdeMIc PolIcIes & Procedures

All students are expected to take five courses each term unless an exception is made by the academic dean. normally, students are not permitted to drop yearlong cours es during the year.

students may drop a course only during the first three weeks of the course. For a yearlong course, this means students may drop the course before september 30. After that, course changes may be initiated only by the department head or the academic dean.

A student wishing to make a course change should see the aca-demic dean, who makes the final decision on all course changes in consultation with the student’s adviser, the teach ers involved, and the department heads.

Woodberry Forest grades on a four-point scale from A (excellent, equal to 4.0) to nc (no credit, equal to 0.0). For purposes of calculat-ing a student’s average, each honors or advanced placement course in a student’s course of study is accorded an additional one-half point. these weight points do not change the actual grades reported on the school transcript, but are calculated into the student’s overall average.

the exam schedule for the year is posted in september. students must take their exams according to this schedule. the only reasons for altering the schedule are family or medical emergencies.

At the end of the winter term, if a student is not making sat isfactory academic progress, the re-enrollment contract may be withheld pend-ing successful completion of the school year in june. If a student’s performance is unsatisfactory at the end of the school year, the student may be denied the right to re-enroll regardless of whether or not the stu dent’s contract was withheld.

A student who finishes the year with an unsatisfactory grade in a course may be required to attend summer school or to repeat the

30

course. because of the sequential nature of math ematics and foreign language study, a student who receives a d in an algebra course or in a foreign language course is required to do summer work or repeat the course the following year before being promoted to the next level. In other courses a student with a d average is normally given credit with no further obligation on his part, although the faculty may require a student to attend summer school or do summer work in any case where it is felt to be in the student’s best interest.

Any student desiring to take a course for credit during the summer must have the course approved beforehand by the academic dean and relevant department chair. the student should expect to present the department chair with a syllabus and course description. the depart-ment chair will make the final decision on course validity.

AcAdeMIc honors & AWArds

the honor roll is posted at the end of each trimester according to the following scale:

above 4.0 Walker scholar3.7–3.99 high honors3.4–3.69 honors

the school also honors its top academic students at graduation with diplomas that are designated summa cum laude (highest honors), magna cum laude (high honors), or cum laude (honors). traditionally, about one third of the graduating sixth formers are so designated.

study hAlls & consultAtIon

Any student with a d or nc in any course will be required to attend both periods of evening proctored study hall.

each student assigned to evening proctored study hall will be allowed five absences from second period study hall per marking period. (no student will be excused from first period study hall.) the study hall proctors will keep track of the second period study hall cuts on a master list. the advisers and the academic dean are not authorized to write notes excusing students from second period study hall beyond the number of authorized cuts.

If a student comes to class unprepared, the teacher may assign him to 5:20 p.m. study hall, which meets from 5:20 p.m. to 6:05 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday, and thursday afternoons.

31

students have the opportunity to see their teachers for extra help during the academic day. A teacher may require a student to come to consultation.

the AthletIc ProGrAM

All students are required to participate in an afternoon activity every trimester. third and fourth formers are required to play team sports or participate in a group activity. Fifth and sixth formers not interested in playing team sports are permitted to satisfy the athletic requirement by participation in non-interscholastic activity. boys also make contributions to the athletic program as trainers, man agers, statisticians, and assistant coaches.

A student may change athletic teams provided that the change is autho-rized by the athletic director. It is the stu dent’s responsibility to obtain the permission in writing of the athletic director in order to change.

underformers are not allowed to participate in informal athletic activity during the academic day or during the evening study periods.

sixth formers may participate in informal athletic activity out-side Perimeter road and away from academic buildings during the academic day.

the following rules apply to the use of athletic facil ities:no cleated shoes are to be worn inside the l. W. dick Gymnasium,

the cage, the barbee center, the Glover center, or the Wall room.no drinks are allowed in the Glover Fitness center.no street or other hard-sole shoes that may leave any marks are

to be worn on the basketball courts, the squash courts, the tennis courts, or the track.

All boys should dress, shower, and store their athletic equipment in the gymnasium.

conduct In the coMPuterIzed coMMunIty

We, the members of Woodberry Forest school, expect a commitment to ethical conduct from every participant in the Woodberry community. We recognize that our use of technology has a direct and vital impact on the quality of life of all people, both inside and outside our immediate community. In particular, our conduct as members of the computerized community must conform to the same ideals of honesty, impartiality, and concern for each other that have traditionally governed relations, both within our immediate community and with the larger world generally.

trust is the very fabric of an effectively functioning community. Woodberry Forest school requires that every entering boy commit to honest and fair dealings with his fellow students. this commitment to ethical conduct in a computerized world in no way alters this under-standing. rather, it attempts to alert us to the ways in which these traditional values extend into the computerized community. lying, stealing, and cheating in the computerized community will invoke the same procedures and result in the same consequences as they do in the non-computerized contexts. In other words, one’s actions in a computerized community create no new categories of honor violations. In addition, all disciplinary regulations that are set forth in previous contexts will extend to the computerized environment.

ethIcAl behAVIor

1. Do nothing to harm others, endanger community relations, or injure Woodberry forest school’s reputation or its relations with the outside world.this principle applies to any use of computing technology that results in loss or harm to any person, whether a user or not. Ask yourself whether your actions will lead either to injury or to nega-tive outcomes, keeping in mind that “harm” comes in many flavors. to reduce the possibility of harming others, in all situations treat others as you would wish to be treated.

2. respect the privacy of others and the terms of confidentiality.tapping into another person’s email account or other computer correspondence or accessing information without specific permis-sion is no different from opening a sealed envelope addressed

35

to someone else. A person’s private computer files are like an unoccupied room: you should not enter unless the occupant or owner of that “room” is with you. If someone shares particular information with you, you must assume that this communication is confidential. You do not have the right to share it with others without specific permission.

3. respect property rights and give proper credit for intellectual property.copyrights are a form of property. therefore, violating copyrights or the terms of license agreements is a form of stealing. you should not copy or transmit copyrighted/licensed software without per-mission. you should also remember that stealing involves more than theft of a compact disc or food from the refrigerator. If you find information on the Internet that you can use for an assign-ment, remember to give proper credit for your sources — otherwise you are stealing the ideas. claiming text from an electronic source as one’s own is no different from copying out someone’s else work from a book.

4. Do nothing to impair the Woodberry forest school computer network or the integrity of the community’s computer-related resources or to bypass network restrictions or security.the school owns and operates most of the equipment that permits the computer network to function. rewiring cables, tampering with school-owned software, introducing viruses, using other person’s accounts or passwords, or sharing your own password or access privileges with another person are all actions that violate this principle. We strongly encourage you to let us know of any situation that encourages invasion of school rules.

5. respect all community computer resources as the private property of Woodberry forest school and utilize these resources for educational purposes and for such personal uses as the school permits.Again, treat the computer resources with respect. use them to educate yourself, to obtain information, and to keep yourself in touch with family and friends. don’t use the network to sell t-shirts or pursue other essentially commercial activities. the only excep-tion to this is the internal “For sale” folder, which is designed to facilitate on-campus exchanges.

36

6. Be fair and take actions to minimize inequities and improve community understanding of computer resources.share your knowledge. If you know how to use a resource and some-one else does not, take the time to teach him what you know.

AccePtAble use PolIcy

the Acceptable use Policy exists to provide a guideline for appropri-ate use of Woodberry Forest school’s network. these principles apply to the data network, voice network, and voicemail system. 1. Wfsnet exists to support the educational goals and adminis-

trative needs of the school. use of WFsnet is a privilege, not a right. use of WFsnet for unauthorized commercial or illegal purposes is prohibited.

2. attempting to subvert network or computer security is prohibited. Woodberry Forest school provides network and desktop security across its network. Attempting to bypass, breaking, or tampering with these security devices is strictly forbidden. Assisting others in violating these rules by sharing information or passwords is also prohibited.

3. circumventing the Internet filter by using proxy servers or VPn software is not allowed.

4. students should establish and maintain secure passwords that pro-tect the privacy of the information on their computers, network folders, and email accounts. students are to respect the need for this security/confidentiality and are to make no efforts to bypass security systems and gain access to information that they do not have a right to see.

5. users should access only their own accounts and files. accessing the accounts and files of others is prohibited. taking advantage of another user who inadvertently leaves a computer without log-ging out is no different from a Woodberry student entering an unoccupied room, reading a personal letter or file, or destroying someone’s personal property.

6. Improper use or distribution of information is prohibited. Any action that violates a school rule under normal circumstances will also be considered a violation when the activity involves the use of the network. this includes copyright infringements, piracy, and plagiarism.

37

7. It is important not to give out personal information (address, phone number, etc.) over the Internet to someone whom you do not know.

8. hazing or harassment of any form on Wfsnet will not be tolerated.

9. altering electronic communications to hide your identity, impersonating another person, or falsifying yourself or your computer’s identity (including but not limited to IP address and mac address) are misrepresentations and are considered honor offenses.

10. electronic communications should be civil in nature. students should be aware that electronic communications are not necessar-ily a private means of communication. students should not send any electronic communication they would not say in person. users should not expect that email, voicemail or other information created or maintained in the system are private, confidential, or secure.

11. using Woodberry forest school resources to view or share pornography is a violation of school rules.

12. Woodberry forest maintains the right to disallow network ac-cess to students who do not follow the acceptable use Policy. some detailed examples of unacceptable behavior on our network include, but are not limited to:

» Over-utilization: excessive use of bandwith or storage» Overloading: denial of service attacks, spamming

» security: hacking, backdoors, viruses

» Privacy: password-cracking utilities, text-trappers, port scanners, sniffers

» Inappropriate material: pornography, graphic images, posted obscenities, and racial slurs

» commercial usage: using WFsnet resources for commercial profit

» gambling

13. Woodberry forest reserves the right to access, view, or monitor information or communication stored or transmitted over its network.

14. users are responsible for the security and integrity of information stored on their computers. computer accounts, passwords, security

38

codes, and other types of authorization are assigned to individual users and must not be shared with or used by others. Woodberry Forest school reserves the right to bypass such passwords and ac-cess the system.

15. students are required to keep their personal computers virus-free with the latest anti-virus software, and they are responsible for keeping their computers up-to-date with the latest security patches. Members of the the technology department are available for assistance if needed. Failure to do this will result in a loss of access to WFsnet.

socIAl MedIA PolIcy

In today’s world, a Woodberry Forest student is responsible for both his physical and his digital presence. he must understand that, once something is put into the digital atmosphere, it never goes away; he can be forever linked to any content that he posts. thus, it is his responsibility to conduct himself appropriately not only on the cam-pus of Woodberry Forest school but also when he enters the digital world of web-based communications and social media platforms. the school will not allow technology to change this community’s basic understanding of and commitment to decency, kindness, and civility. All who live in the Woodberry community are expected to recognize and fully accept responsibility for their digital footprint. Individuals will be held accountable for any form of digital communication that harms, defames, negatively incites, or ridicules other individuals or this institution.

digital spaces include but are not limited to email and social media, including Facebook, twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, blogs, sMs/MMs, webpages, and Wikis.

the following guidelines help clarify the school’s expectations for students:1. Be mindful of what you post online because it is not private. social

media venues are public; any that are currently private can be made public at their company’s discretion. do not post anything that you would not want parents, teachers, or a future employer to see.

2. examine everything that you post and ask yourself if you feel that it would be appropriate to be copied and forwarded with your signature at the end. If it doesn’t meet that standard, don’t send it.

39

3. Do not misrepresent yourself by using someone else’s identity or falsifying yourself or your computer’s identity. how you present yourself online is an extension of your physical world. Pretending, in any way, to be another student, faculty/staff member, or anyone else is a misrepresentation and is considered an honor offense.

4. follow the school’s rules and guidelines concerning conduct when you are posting online. What is inappropriate on campus is inap-propriate online. While it is acceptable to disagree with someone else’s opinion, that must be done in a respectful manner. Make sure that any criticism is constructive and not harmful. remember that your digital conduct is as real as your behavior on campus.

5. Protect yourself online and be safe. never divulge personal infor-mation such as your last name, phone number, address, exact birth date, and personal photos. do not share your password with anyone other than your parents. If someone shares personal information with you, assume that this communication is confidential. you do not have the right to share another individual’s information with others without that person’s specific permission. In the spirit of proper digital etiquette, understand that cutting and pasting someone else’s words without direct permission is inappropriate.

6. avoid any risk of plagiarism. do your own work and give proper credit for intellectual property. do not use other people’s intellec-tual property without their permission when writing an assignment. be aware that it is a violation of copyright law to copy and paste other’s thoughts. It is necessary to reference sources or hyperlink to them; to not do so is a form of plagiarism.

7. respect media copyright laws. Pictures, videos, songs, and audio clips that you find online may be protected under copyright laws. Always verify that you have permission to use the images, videos, songs, or other clips.

8. Be aware of exposure to inappropriate materials. If you are sent or directed to view inappropriate material that makes you uncom-fortable, you are encouraged to seek out a member of the faculty. At Woodberry Forest school, we are committed to living by the

same standards of respect and responsibility in the online realm as we are on our campus. We trust that the above policy and guidelines will provide you with a firm understanding of the school’s expectations regarding your online behavior. Violation of the school’s social media policy will result in disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal.
