Music & Club sign up.

Mandatory parent orientations will be held on September 8th and 9th in the GMS Auditorium for parents who want their 7th or 8th grader to take the MLTI laptop home this year. Parents can attend either session, both will be from 6:30 - 7:30 pm. Attendance last year will not qualify your child to take a laptop home this year.

We recommend two rules for MLTI laptop use at home.

1. The laptop is used only for homework research & products.
2. Laptop use should be supervised by an adult at all times.

Questions for your family to discuss:

1. How does your child’s cyber identity affect your entire family’s privacy?

2. How permanent is your son or daughter’s cyber trail?

3. How can a student “own” a copyright?

4. How can a student respect web-info copyright?

NOTE: Cyber safety is on the agenda at the PIE meeting, to be held in the GMS library on 9-18-08, from 6:30 - 8:00 pm.
