Dear Parents and Guardians,

            This year in our class we will be following what is called an Acceptable Use Policy or AUP. An AUP is a set of rules and guidelines that students will be expected to abide by during this school year. This includes rules for general behavior in the classroom as well as rules for using technology and the Internet at school. Consequences for breaking these rules are also listed. AUPs are both effective and helpful for maintaining a safe, efficient, and enjoyable classroom, while also teaching students about accountability. In case you would like to implement an AUP at home, I have a template available for you to make your own AUP for at home rules. The template is linked below. I highly encourage this and have seen how useful it can be both at home and at school!

Thank you,

Kaitlin Ponder
