One of the most important lessons we can teach our children is how to use good judgement while using the internet. So that the school knows that your child will use good conduct while on the internet our school, like most schools will ask that you and your young student sign an AUP. But what is an AUP? An AUP is an Acceptable Use Policy, and these websites will provide better explanations of what an AUP expects out of both your school and your student.
Alamance-Burlington School System Acceptable Use Policy (Middle and Upper Grades)-This link is the ABSS Acceptable use policy form for Middle Schoolers. The site is sponsored by the ABSS school system and differs from the elementary form slightly. The Middle School policy deals more with treating other students with respect when dealing with the internet, using the computer responsibly and without offense. This policy also requires a parent or guardian to sign the form before the student is allowed to use computers at school.
Acceptable Use Policies (A Handbook)- This website is a guide or handbook to what should be included in the AUP of your school. The site is sponsored by the Virginia Department of Education and contains not only information relevant for writing a satisfactory AUP, it also includes a plethora of helpful links including: templates for an AUP, policies of other states, issues of safety on the internet and much more.
