[LM_NET] TAR: Elementary Research using the Web

[Deirdre Jameson <minivanlibrarian@GMAIL.COM>]

I need some help drafting a letter to parents about my school's policy
regarding our elementary students using web resources.  My administration
decided that the only web sites the students could use were ones that were
pre-selected by the teacher or me  They told that policy to me but it is not
in writing anywhere.  I know it and teacher know it but our families don't.

So what happens is the teacher comes up with the topic, then contacts me and
I located age appropriate web sites.  I post them to my web page and the
students are told these are the only ones you can use.  But at home, mom or
dad decides to help and they go off and find different web sites and tell
their kids to use them.  Does any one have this subject covered in their
library policies?  Would you be willing to share?

TIA
Deirdre
