 PARENT LETTER 
 
 
 
The  South-Western  City  School  District  is  pleased  to  offer  our  students  access  to  the  district 
computer  network  for  electronic  mail  and  the  Internet.  To  gain  access  to  email  and  the  Internet,  all 
students  under  the  age  of  18  must  obtain  parental  permission  and  must  sign  and  return  this  form  to  the 
Library/Media Specialist. Students 18 and over may sign their own forms. 
 
Access  to  email  and  the  Internet  will  enable  students  to  explore  thousands  of  libraries, databases, 
and  bulletin  boards  while  exchanging  messages  with  Internet  users  throughout  the  world.  Families  should 
be  warned  that  some  material  accessible  via  the  Internet  may  contain  items  that  are  illegal,  defamatory, 
inaccurate  or  potentially  offensive to some people.  While our intent is to make Internet access available to 
further  educational  goals  and  objectives,  students  may  find  ways  to  access  other  materials  as  well.  We 
believe  the  benefits  to  students  from  access  to  the  Internet,  in  the  form  of  information  resources  and 
opportunities  for  collaboration,  exceed  any  disadvantages.  Parents  and  guardians  of  minors  are  ultimately 
responsible  for  setting  and  conveying  the  standards  that  their children should follow when using media and 
information  sources.  The  South-Western  City  School District supports and respects each family’s right to 
decide whether or not to apply for access. 

Children in the early primary grades have a full routine focused day which consists of 
school, homework, social interaction and a variety of physical activity. This busy schedule allows 
for a healthy lifestyle. This is typically 10 or more hours, therefore doctors suggest parents to 
determine how much screen time is appropriate for their children. 

Children that are in within the 3-5 age range are recommended to have 1 hour or less of 
screen time, as stated by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Children are in the beginning 
learning stages and are experiencing their initial exposure to technology. Experts say that infants 
who are 24-30 months should have little to no exposure to screen time because children’s brains 
have something going on in their development. In today’s technology savvy world, having an 
Acceptable Use Policy for technology at home could support your child in their growth and 
technology exposure.  

Thank you for your continued support this school year!
