Dear Parents,
As educators, we believe in the fundamental
impact of sound instruction. Internet Safety is an area where this surely
applies. When used appropriately, technology is an incredibly valuable tool
for learning and collaboration. When used inappropriately, technology can be
hazardous and immoral, a sin against God and neighbors. In all uses of
technology, there should be a focus on safe, responsible and ethical use and
an awareness of the dangers that can occur with misuse. In order to assist
students in using technology appropriately, schools need to provide a solid,
ongoing education in Internet Safety.
On our Internet Safety Links page there are
websites that contain valuable and practical strategies for emphasizing
Internet Safety, in the classroom and the home.
