Dear Parents
I want to take this time to thank you for allowing us to be a part of your child’s learning experience.Our world is very competitive and it is important that each child is knowledgeable of technology and how to best use it to compete in our global world.
Therefore, as the teacher I have set standards in the classroom that students must follow in order to make our classroom a learning community. Below you will note my classroom rules and procedures that I want to make you aware of and to ask that you please go over them with your student.
I look forward to working with your student and if you have any questions please free to contact me through the office and I will return your call as soon as possible. Also, everyone must return a signed Technology Usage Policy that outlines acceptable use of the internet.
Sincerely,
