Great Web Sites for Kids &
Parents
Important note to parents and teachers: These sites, as far as we
know, will not return unwanted, violent or hateful content.
However, sites change daily and cannot be monitored that often.
Always monitor your child's computer use.
If the web site requires login and password
information you can obtain that from the school.
