Parents and kids making a commitment
The Family Media Agreement is a checklist that parents can use to guide conversations with their kids about media use. It’s designed to help parents establish guidelines and expectations around media use and behavior that are right for their family. Some families are comfortable it as a signed agreement. Others prefer to use it simply as a checklist to guide conversations. Either way, it’s a great way to help parents and kids get on the same page about media and technology use. Educators distribute the agreement to students to take home to their parents or use it as a handout at a parent education event. Some schools also use it as a complement to their technology or acceptable-use policy as a way to clarify what responsible media use looks like day-to-day, decision-to-decision. ===  === ====In the next section you can click on a presentation for parents about online safety for students.==== ==== ====

The following website will provide parents with education about media and social networking for your children. Please take some time to look over the resources and videos.
