Dear Parents/Guardian
A new exciting technology year is about to begin for your student.
Our technology curriculum will include keyboarding; the use of many of the software applications we already use; researching techniques, safety rules as well as including more interactive communicating techniques such as wikis, blogs and other on-line tools.
Our goal, with your co-operation and support, is to provide your student with technology skills and knowledge which will enable them to succeed in this rapidly changing and growing 21st Century world. To achieve this goal, we will adopt a zero tolerance policy to all and any inappropriate use of the available technologies including the Internet.
As always, we take every precaution to protect your student from any inappropriate material. However some students will always try to “test the system”. Should this happen, that student will loose all access to technology, computers and the Internet for the remainder of the semester. This will include all technology on our campus, not just in the computer labs.
Please engage your student in a conversation about appropriate behaviors on the Internet and in the classroom environment. Then please sign below your acceptance of this agreement and return to me. Please review the student code of conduct for further information.
Should you have any questions please email me at gwatkins@msd38.org or call and leave a message at 602 664-7136 and I will respond at my earliest convenience.
Regards
Glynis Watkins
Technology Teacher
