You are in charge at home

Make a plan for how you will manage the technology at home.

Some ideas include Creating a scheduled time for working on the device Designating a place in your home for working online Designating a place to charge the device over night

so that you remember it in the morning.

Internet Access at Home

Students do not have access to the Internet from your home unless you provide it for them.

Public Internet access at the public library, many restaurants and several businesses.

working on.

Please take up the iPad at home until it is convenient for you to monitor your child.

We want to continue to partner with you to teach your child to use the Internet responsibly and efficiently.
