Happy Thanksgiving!    Enjoy your 4 day week end!

Aloha Parents,  It was recently brought to my attention that there are a few children who have recently viewed inappropriate websites and have passed the site information on to other students.  You are encouraged to discuss appropriate usage guidelines with your child. We will continue to ensure that students are blocked from inappropriate web sites, and that our strict usage guidelines are enforced at school.   At home, might I suggest ensuring that computer usage be in a location that is easily visible to you and that you monitor your child's usage regularly.  Children should be careful of sites such as Youtube which make inappropriate links accessible with a simple click.   There are several programs that can be used to monitor viewed sites.  Some parents have found the following link useful, http://www.wikihow.com/Block-a-Specific-Website-Without-Software&adt=0

Working together to keep our kids safe,  Agnes Leinau, Vice Principal

If you are PCSing or changing schools please let the office know ASAP.  They usually ask for 2 weeks notice to get a release packet ready for the next school.
