Internet and Parent Orientation

[Lynn Henry <LynnH123@AOL.COM>]

Greetings,

We have our new internat lab up and running and everyone is excited to start
the year.  We have chosen not to use a filtering software (for several
reasons, which many of you have already helped me with) and now I am
beginning to think about how to effectively present/explain this policy to
parents (at Open House and conferences) and students.  We are a Christian
high school of about 320 students; we also have a very clear AUP with direct
and immediate consequences for violations.

I will to be using our religion classes for discussion and explanation of our
AUP, trying to emphasize the importance of values and choices (without being
too heavy-handed about it).  Do any of you in similar situations (especially
in church-supported schools) have any suggestions or words of wisdom of how
to proceed?  Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!!
