We are pleased to offer students of Sacramento Adventist Academy access to school computers and the school computer network for the Internet.  Access to the Internet will enable students to explore thousands of libraries, databases, and bulletin boards while exchanging messages with Internet users throughout the world.
We believe that the benefits to students from access to the Internet, in the form of information resources and opportunities for collaboration, exceed any disadvantages.  While our intent is to make Internet access available to further educational goals and objectives, students may find ways to access other materials as well.  Families should be warned that some material accessible via the Internet might contain items that are illegal, defamatory, inaccurate or potentially offensive to some people.
Ultimately, parents and guardians of minors are responsible for setting and conveying the standards that their children should follow when using media and information sources.  To that end, Sacramento Adventist Academy supports and respects each family’s right to decide whether or not to apply for access.
