The entire lab and all classroom computers have access to the Internet through a high speed line. iBoss is installed on all computers, including laptops, to filter out unacceptable material.

Students are instructed in the proper use of the Internet using the iSafe curriculum. They learn to navigate the Web and participate in activities designed to build their research skills.

Safety on the Net - The Internet combines entertainment, communication, and information in unique and exciting ways. Unfortunately, some have misused this wonderful tool. How can you protect your family?

• Monitor the computer in your home. Place it in a common living space, not in a child's bedroom. Make it visible to all members of the family.

• Block unacceptable information. Install filtering software or access the Internet through a service provider that guarantees to filter out undesirable information. Access  additional parent information at www.iSafe.org.

• Be informed. Learn with your children as they go online. Guide them toward constructive sites and experience their excitement as they make discoveries. Subscribe to Barbara Feldman's email edition of "Surfing the Net with Kids."
