Monitoring
Computer Usage
It is a good idea to check the Web browser history on your personal
computer from time to time to ensure that safe surfing is practiced in
your household household.
If you think your children may interpret this as spying, have an open
conversation about it, and make it known that you will be checking the
history file periodically. It may also help to raise the topic of
inappropriate contact if it’s evident in the history but your child
has been reluctant to talk to you about it.
Checking the content of the history file can also alert you to someone
deleting the history file, which could mean they are aware they are
doing things they shouldn’t on the Internet and are trying to hide it.

Parents’ Right to Know
Regulations 200.61
Dear Parent,
Your child’s school receives Title I funding and
is included under the regulations of the “No Child Left Behind Act” (NCLB)
that was signed into law by President Bush on January 8, 2002.
NCLB requires:
- Increased accountability for states and school
districts.
- Greater choice for parents, especially those
in low performing schools.
- Greater flexibility for state and local
education agencies in the use of federal funding.
Under NCLB, parents have a right to request
professional qualifications of their children’s teacher(s) or
paraprofessional(s). This letter is to inform you of your right to
ask for the following information about your children’s classroom
teachers or paraprofessionals:
- Whether Pennsylvania has licensed the teacher
for the grades and subjects he or she teaches.
- Whether the teacher is teaching under
emergency or other provisional status through which Pennsylvania
licensing criteria have been waived.
- The teacher’s baccalaureate degree major and
whether the teacher has any advance degrees, and if so, the subject
of the degrees.
- Whether the child is provided services by
paraprofessionals and, if so, their qualifications.
If you would like to receive specific information
about your child’s teacher or paraprofessional, please contact your
school principal.
Our district is fully committed to the success of
your child. We appreciate your partnership in our efforts to provide
the best education for your child.
Sincerely,
Michael H. LaMarca |
