Computer, Network, Email and Internet Services

Our school provides computers, networks, email, and Internet access to support and enhance curriculum and learning opportunities. All staff and students in grades 4 through 12 are given an @cmis.ac.th email address. For staff leaving CMIS, accounts are typically suspended on August 1st following their last day of work at CMIS. For students leaving CMIS, student accounts are withdrawn from student groups and transitioned to @alumni.cmis.ac.th, these accounts will remain active unless otherwise requested (students and staff leaving under exceptional circumstances may have their account suspended immediately).

CMIS retains control, custody, and supervision of all computers, networks, email, and Internet services owned and/or leased by the school, and reserves the right to monitor all email, computer, and Internet activity by students and staff. Students and staff should have no expectations of privacy in their use of school computers, including email and stored files.

Students in grades 6-12 are issued a Chromebook. These remain the property of CMIS but are to travel with the student and be used for all school work. Student chromebooks are collected at the end of the school year and returned at the beginning of the following year. Students are not permitted to use their personal devices on the school network. Students and parents must review and agree to the following policies:

Please see the Internet and Email Acceptable Use Policies (IAUP and EAUP).
