Parent+Letter

April 22, 2009 Dear Parents, Your child will be taking part in Internet Security lessons over the next several days. This letter is to inform you on how it works along with the other items listed below. I hope these lessons give your child and you the knowledge needed to benefit from the many resources available on the internet in a safe and responsible way. __ How it Works __ You and your child will take part in the child safety website known as Netsmartz ( [] ). You will first navigate through the site to get a general idea of what is available to you and your child. Next you will do “What to Do on the Web” and then either the “Webville Outlaws” or “Meet the Wizziwigs”. Students will then complete the “Who’s Your Friend” and post their results on Mr. Brown’s Moodle site Forum, “Netsmartz Web Safety Forum ( [] ). __ Assessment __ Your child’s work will be assessed according to how thorough they complete the “Netsmartz Web Safety Forum”. __ Security __ All sites are directed through the school district’s computer system while the student is at school and are filtered according to the systems available to the school. You and your child signed the Internet Use Policy Permission form ( [] ) at the beginning of the year. I am asking you to sign this letter and return it to me reaffirming your agreement to proper internet uses and safeguards at home and at school. Please return this signed letter to Mr. Brown. __ Resources __ Netsmartz Internet site (see above) Mr. Brown’s Moodle site (see above) Penn Manor School District Internet Safety Policy (see above) I hope you find these lessons useful and enjoy the activities provided for your child and you.
