At Home AUP
Hello
parents/guardians,
I just wanted to take the time to thank you so much for giving me the
opportunity to teach your child this year. As a teacher with multiple
children to watch at once, I wanted to make sure that every child was aware
of what was to be expected of them in the classroom and while on the
internet. Having policies in the classroom and for internet use while at
school is the best way to protect children from the dangers of the internet
and for them to learn to use technology in a beneficial way. An AUP is an
easy way to make a contract with your child to set rules and limits for
their internet and technology usage. It involves laying out the rules for
not only usage, but also things that they can and cannot do while on the
internet or using a computer/ iPad. If you would like, it would be
beneficial for you at home to set rules and limits with internet and
technology.
It is super easy to make an AUP at home. I will attach a template to
help get you started or you can make one up all on your own. An AUP just
needs to let them know the rules that you have set for them, and it is an
easy way to remind them of what you expect from them. Having your child and
you sign it makes it personal to them and you which makes it more likely for
them to follow. I hope you choose to
make an AUP, and it helps you with monitoring your child on the web. If you
have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email me!
Thank you,
Ashton Herekamp
