Best Practices
1. Don't let children have a computer, TV or handheld device in their room. Keep technology in community areas.
2. Limit the time children spend on electronic devices. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no more than 1-2 hours per day of high quality content for children and teens, stating "It is important for kids to spend time on outdoor play, reading, hobbies, and using their imaginations in free play."
3. Be involved.
Elementary School:
Approve the websites or apps your child wants to visit. You can save them in My Favorites so that children can just click on
the link. If using an apple device use your apple ID and set it up so you get an email if they download anything.

Middle and High School: Talk to your children about social media and texting etiquette. Make sure their privacy settings are set to "Friends Only." Be their friend on Facebook, Twitter, etc. Reserve the right to look at anything on their device at any time.
