Internet Safety Tip

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
