Computers, Tablets, Smartwatches, and Social Network Policy
Students may not bring their own laptops, tablets, smart watches, or any
other technological device (including Nintendo Switches) not approved by
the FYHS administration. Students will be provided with an FYHS laptop for
school use. The consequence for violating the above expectations for
computers, tablets and smartwatches will be the same as for violating the
expectation for phones. Students are financially responsible for any school
provided laptop that is damaged or lost and the expense will be deducted
from the family FACTS account.
FYHS will not request or require a student to provide a password or other
related account information to gain access to the student’s account or profile
on a social networking website. FYHS may conduct an investigation or
require a student to cooperate in an investigation if there is sufficient
evidence to suggest the student’s social network account violates the
school’s disciplinary policy. FYHS may require the student to share content
during such an investigation.
A student’s social network account violates FYHS policy if it is used in a
manner that contravenes the school’s standards of conduct, including but not
limited to bullying, harassment, or any behavior that is inconsistent with the
values of a ben Torah. This includes posts, comments, images, or
interactions that reflect inappropriate speech, disrespect toward others, or
engagement in activities prohibited by school policies. Such violations will be
investigated by the school administration, and in certain cases, the matter
may be addressed in consultation with Touro University’s guidance to ensure
appropriate measures are taken. Consequences will be determined based
on the severity of the infraction and in accordance with the school’s
disciplinary procedures.
Internet and Filtering
Internet safety is a significant responsibility. Many households employ
monitoring, filtering, and blocking software. However, as software cannot
guarantee a foolproof system, FYHS strongly advises against unsupervised
and unfiltered internet activity on any home devices, including phones.
