Why should I have an AUP at home?
I would recommend possibly creating your own AUP with a small set of rules to prepare your child for classroom activities. These rules could be as simple as monitoring which websites are allowed or banned, how much time your child can spend using technology each day (computer, phone, iPad, etc.), leaving the designated area how they found it, or plugging in the devices after each use. I have also included a template that is similar to mine that I use in the classroom if you would like to access it, and this can be found on my website! Doing this could also decrease the amount of cyberbullying and/or inappropriate behavior that seems to be problematic in today’s society. Thank you so much for your time and cooperation! I am so excited to teach your child this year!
