Dear parents,
As a teacher, I strive to give your child the best education. In doing so, I feel that is would be best for your child if we work as a team to ensure that he/she can get the best out of his/her educational experience. I have set guidelines and consequences for computer and internet use in my classroom. I ask that you too set some guidelines and consequences for your home too. I feel in doing so, this will provide stability for your child and lesson confusion in what can and cannot be done while using the computer and internet. I have a blank contract below. Please fill it out and sit down with your child to explain your rules and the consequences for not following them. Thank you and I look forward to teaching your child this year.
