Blog Guidelines

Internet safety is of the up-most importance to us.

Through blogging, the students in the lower school at Fredericksburg Academy have the opportunity to learn about appropriate online behaviors in an authentic and supervised setting.

The following guidelines have been established to ensure the safety of our students when blogging:

  • Students’ first names, photos , work, video and school name MAY be included on the blog.
  • Students’ last names, address, email address, phone number, specific plans, date of birth and other personal information WILL NOT be included on the blog.
  • Posts written by students are checked by the teacher before they are included on their blog.
  • Students will be encouraged to comment on other student blogs with teacher/parent supervision.
  • Parents who leave comments are asked to use their first name only so as not to identify their child.  Ex. Please identify yourself in comments as “Sally’s mom” rather than Jane Brown -Sally’s mom.”
  • All commenters must be polite, respectful and courteous.
  • Others’ work, images, music or videos will not be used without permission and attribution.
  • Parents are asked to proofread comments that students write on blogs at home.

Our class and student blogs are a collaborative effort.  While the teachers moderate all comments and posts, please let us know if you think we have overlooked any breeches in our safety guidelines and we will fix them ASAP.

Thank you to Miss Jordan and Mrs. Morris at 4KM and 4KJ @ Leopold Primary School for sharing these guidelines with us.
