Before such access can be granted, you and your child must sign the attached SCHOOL DISTRICT NO.58 (NICOLA-SIMILKAMEEN) DISTRICT NETWORK ACCESS STUDENT APPLICATION FORM and return it to the school.
This pamphlet has two functions. The first is to inform you of the positive and negative aspects of the internet and to help you make the decision whether you want your child to have access.
