 * Disclaimer** to parents concerning laptops and technology access after school hours (Jean)

Parents are first line of defense in protecting their children against Internet dangers. Parents should monitor what their children are doing on the laptops when away from school.

Active participant partnership- support school using technology

statement about school filters work only while on campus- the school can not filter the various ways to the Internet off campus--

Statement:  The Ensworth Technology Department has full access and control of every laptop when the laptop is on campus, but when students access the Internet away from school, the content filters that control and block access to social sites; ie MySpace while on campus are not blocked at home due to the various personal services our Ensworth families subscribe to. We are in partnership with parents to protect our students from cyber predators by encouraging parents to check where their child is searching and read their chld's social networking page on a regular basis.
