Parent Guide
Dear Chadwick International Families,
Chadwick International complies with the requirements of the Federal Children’s Internet Protection Act. Specific Internet conduct is described in our Acceptable Use Policy, which we review with students at the start of each year. We ask that you join us in building good computer and Internet habits by encouraging similar behavior at home.
We encourage parents to consider the following guidelines regarding Internet use by students at home, including e-mail, instant messaging, World Wide Web, and other similar activities. Please supervise your children’s Internet use by taking an active interest in their activities. The easiest way to facilitate this is to place Internet-capable computers in a centralized location such as a family room, rather than in your child’s bedroom or other remote location. For safety reasons, please help your children understand that they should never give out personal information about themselves or others via the Internet. Should you wish to prevent your children from gaining access to objectionable material on the Internet, you may want to install a web filter on your home computer. Keep in mind that web filters and parental controls are not perfect. It may be possible for children to bypass them, or for some objectionable material to be viewed accidentally. Consequently, continual parental monitoring is important.
Please remind your children that there may be serious, and even legal, consequences for sending threatening electronic messages, or for creating hateful or objectionable web sites – even if the message is meant as a joke.
We at Chadwick International recommend that parents set reasonable limits for students’ recreational "screen time." Limiting the use of recreational technology (television, computer, video games, texting, iPads, etc.) will encourage good study habits and allow time for recreational reading and other beneficial activities.
