Why don't you SSH home? Simple enough and works. The only problem is
that you need to leave a pc on all the time. Try page has great
information about setting it up, and it's easy too:

I've noticed one problem with the site mentioned above. It requires you
to take PuTTY to school and to change the Internet Explorer proxy
settings, and if your school's like mine, they've disabled that. This
isn't that much of a problem if you take PuTTY and Portable Firefox on
a USB flash drive.
