Internet Permission Letter 

To:          Parents and Students
From:     Khalsa School, Old Yale Road Campus
Subject:  Student Access to the Internet

The Khalsa School is connected to the Internet. The Internet represents a unique opportunity for students to explore information that enhances learning. The Internet also has some resources that are not appropriate for young people. We believe benefits outweigh negatives but we are aware that there are some resources we would not want our students to investigate, such as pornography. To reduce the risk of students accessing inappropriate Internet sites, we use an Internet site filtering system. The school is committed to helping students use the Internet responsibly but it is not possible to monitor student usage at all times.

Students will have opportunities to connect with the Internet in classrooms, computer labs, and libraries under the supervision of teachers. Students will be given instruction in the appropriate use of technology and they will be directed toward resources appropriate to curriculum goals.

To ensure the responsible use of the Internet, all students who use the Internet are required to adhere to school policies. Inappropriate use may result in the loss of a student's privilege to use the Internet as well as subject him or her to other consequences.

We encourage parents/guardians and students to discuss the content of this letter. We hope students will share with their parents/guardians some of the exciting Internet projects in which they are engaged during the school year.

By sending this correspondence to you, the school is providing you with information regarding the Internet and notifying you that unless you object, your child will be able to access the Internet. If you object to your child using the Internet you must fill out the information below and return this form to your child’s homeroom teacher.

OBJECTION TO THE USE OF THE INTERNET

This objection applies to the 2013 -2014 school year, and must be specifically renewed at the beginning of each school year.

Student's Name (Please Print) ____________________________________________

I object to __________________________________________ using the Internet during the current school year.

Parent's signature____________________                                   Date ______________
