The history provides a list of the websites that have been viewed from your
computer. For safety reasons, we recommend that parents review their computer’s
history to stay informed of the places their children visit online. (If the
history is consistently empty, it is possible that either your child is
deliberately erasing the history to keep you from finding out where they go
online, or perhaps your computer is set up to automatically delete the history
each time you exit out of the Internet. We advise that you disable the
auto-delete feature).
To check your computer’s history, follow these steps:
· Find the long narrow box (called a Navigation Bar) at the top of the screen
where web addresses can be entered.
· To the right of this box, is a little drop down menu with an arrow. By
clicking on the arrow, you can see a list of the different websites that have
been viewed from your computer.
· AOL automatically saves the last 300 places visited.
· Internet Explorer can be customized to report a list of the places visited in
the last 999 days.
· After you view all the entries in your computer’s history, you can clear it.
ARE THERE OTHER WAYS TO STAY INFORMED ABOUT
WHAT MY CHILDREN ARE DOING ONLINE?
Beyond checking your computer’s history, you can also search your computer for
any pictures that have been downloaded from emails or the Internet.
To look for downloaded photos or images, follow these steps:
· Click on your computers Start menu (look for the big word “start” at the
bottom left of the screen).
· Click on Programs or All Programs.
· Click on Accessories.
· Now click on System Tools and finally click on Disk Clean Up.
· When you click on Disk Clean Up, a window will pop up to tell you whether
there are any items stored in the category of Temporary Internet Files. If you
click on Temporary Internet Files, and then select View Files lower down in the
box, you will see a row of documents or folders. By clicking on these, you can
quickly find out if any photos or images have been downloaded to your computer.
To erase the contents of Temporary Internet Files, just go back to the Disk
Clean Up window and click OK. It is also a good idea to check the Recycle Bin on
your computer to see if your offspring have discarded anything that you need to
know about.

and other opportunities for creativity, inquiry and discovery in

PHILOSOPHY OF ST. MICHAEL ACADEMY
We
believe that each child, created by God, is both alike and unique
from every other human being. This uniqueness affects each child's
acceptance and responsibility toward the school community, and it
especially influences each one's learning styles.
In the
light of similarities and differences among students, we strive to
meet the academic needs, to satisfy the interests, and to develop
the abilities of each child.
Further
and foremost, our school teaches what it means to be a Catholic, to
model one's life on Jesus Christ with the duties and
responsibilities involved in living out His message, and with the
joy and peace that flows from such fidelity.
We
believe that the distinctive purpose of St. Michael Academy is to
create a Christian Educational Community where human culture and
knowledge, enlightened and enlivened by faith, is shared among
teachers, students, families and others who are in our global
community
