In light of our commitment to integrating technology and developing technological skills among both teachers and students, DPS Greater Faridabad has established a clear IT Policy to safeguard users and facilitate effective learning.

Internet Use

• The primary purpose of computer resources and the internet is to support research and education.
• Students must adhere to copyright regulations and are prohibited from copying programs or pirated software.
• Internet and email access are available through the school’s network during school hours and under the supervision of the ICT Administrator.
• Students may use the internet only for work assigned by teachers and under their supervision.
• Personal use of the internet and access to social networking sites is not permitted unless explicitly authorized.

Misuse

• Any misuse of ICT resources or equipment will be addressed according to the school’s disciplinary guidelines, considering the student’s age.
• In cases of recurring misuse, parents/guardians will be informed via a letter, telephone call, or parent meeting, as deemed appropriate by the ICT Administrator, ICT Head of Department, and Head of School.
• Students involved in hacking or attempting to disrupt the network may face suspension at the discretion of the Head of School.
• Staff misuse will be handled on a case-by-case basis by the Head of School, with distinctions made between deliberate misuse and misuse through ignorance. Ignorance-related issues will be addressed with compassion and education.

Email Use
