Dear Parent,
Your child will be bringing you Randolph County’s Acceptable Use Policy to sign sometime this week. It explains Randolph County’s Internet policies and is a general permission form. We will be working on several computer projects during this class. Miss Witkowski strives to create real world applications for the computer skills taught to your child. Sample projects are creating web sites and placing student work online for our online newsletter. Safety is a critical concern and we need the following information for our classroom files. Please decide which choices work
best for you and your child. If you have any questions please email ewitkowski@randolph.k12.nc.us Please remember, you will also need to complete the RCS AUP
form in addition to this page.

To create a free web
site at Google Sites, your child will need to create a free email account.
Please check only one choice for each option.
