Page Content

​​​​​​​​​​​Students in the Halton District School are expected to use the Internet appropriately and are taught Digital Citizenship and the importance of practicing ethical and legal digital behaviour. 

Students are expected to:

  • advocate and practice safe, legal and responsible use of information and technology
  • exhibit a positive attitude toward using technology that supports collaboration, learning and productivity
  • demonstrate personal responsibility for lifelong learning
  • exhibit leadership for proper technology use.

Students follow the Responsible Use Procedures for Information and Communication Technology (ICT) ​which outline the appropriate use of the Internet and defines the appropriate behaviours.  ​

Blocked content

The Board blocks access to adult-content websites (pornographic websites) for all staff and students when on the Board network​.  An Internet page will be displayed identifying "This website is blocked due to HDSB filtering rules".

Filtering and personally-ow​​ned devices

There are many Board members who have their own personally-owned devices with their own data plan.  The Halton District School Board cannot filter nor log the Internet access of these devices when users access a cellular network.
