Dear Parents,

2. The school also provides and introduction to the internet course that explains the importance of safety on the net.

3. All content to the school website is pre-approved.

4. The school will provide an e-mail account to your child.

I have listed below what I provide to your child as an educator to ensure their safety on the web.

1. I will clearly explain my safety rules to your child at the beginning of this course.

2. Your child will sign my agreement on these safety rules before proceeding in this class.
