All OUSD school libraries have computers for student use. By federal law (
Children's Internet Protection Act), the parent or guardian must receive a copy of the Internet Acceptable Use Policy and must sign and return an Acceptable Use Agreement before a student will be allowed access to the Internet at school.
These forms are sent to parents in the start-of-school-year packet, but they may also be downloaded here:

The Acceptable Use policy and agreement address the following issues:
- access by minors to inappropriate matter on the Internet
- the safety and security of minors when using electronic mail, chat rooms, and other forms of direct electronic communications
- unauthorized access, including so-called "hacking," and other unlawful activities by minors online
- unauthorized disclosure, use, and dissemination of personal information regarding minors
- restricting minors' access to materials harmful to them
