Eugene School District 4J

Users of email, chat, blogs and other network services should be aware of the common expectations  that users expect from one another.

• Follow Eugene School District 4J guidelines for email signatures.
• Email messages are not guaranteed to be private. The system operator of 4JNet has access to all mail in order to maintain the system.
• When sending email, make your “subject” as descriptive as possible.
• Do not post the personal addresses or phone numbers of students or colleagues.
• Check your email frequently and delete after reading it. Eudora users should delete messages and empty the trash on a regular basis to keep the hard drive from filling up.
• Proofread and edit messages before they are sent, but be tolerant of errors in messages from others.
• Be careful when using sarcasm and humor: without face-to-face communications, a joke may not be taken the way it was intended. ;-)
• Do not publicly criticize or inflame others.
• Protect the privacy of other people.
• Messages written in ALL CAPITALS are difficult to read and are the network equivalent of shouting.
