Here is a draft of a "Parent Permission" letter for student email. In that the newest use policy language I found was in the 2007 Student Handbook, I used that for reference. Of course you should change this for your own school/needs...if you elect to use it...

Roadrunner School
RE: Student email Accounts at “pvlearners.net” Permission
Dear Parent/Guardian:
In the ongoing quest to promote the success of our students technology skills, PVUSD has allocated school email accounts for Roadrunner student’s grades 8 - 12. We are very excited to be part of this pilot program and are confident our students will learn valuable life, social and workplace skills at Roadrunner School while developing computer proficiency in transition beyond high school.
The PVUSD network is provided for students to conduct research and communicate with others in academic pursuits. Access to network services is given to students who agree to act in a considerate and responsible manner and in accordance with the PVUSD Student Handbook; “Electronic Devices” use policy. (http://cmweb.pvschools.net/siteweb > Parents > Student Handbook; page 5)
Student email accounts have been established through Google Services and are subject to the terms and conditions of Google. (http://start.pvlearners.net > Google Terms of Service)
Documentation for both PVUSD and Google use policies are available at Roadrunner Schools front office.
Students will be responsible for their own conduct and will agree to act responsibly. The PVUSD Technology Department will provide and maintain all student accounts and its administrators will have access to student content. Should any suspicion of this account being misused occur, it will be investigated and subject to the findings; access may be suspended or terminated at the discretion of its administrators.
Please feel free to contact me, if you have any further questions or concerns. We are delighted to provide this opportunity for your child and look forward to expanding their horizons into the 21st Century of Learning!
Sincerely,
--------

Here's the one I developed:
April 2007
To Students and Parents:
The Paradise Valley Unified School District is committed to providing students with the education and skills necessary for success in education and the careers of the future.
The OC3 (Online Collaboration and Communication Committee) is piloting some possible solutions for the future that promote online interface between PVUSD students and teachers. I have recently received permission to participate in the District's Goggle Apps pilot.
Over 500 students (K12) and 10 teachers are just starting the pilot of Goggle Apps through our new portal "pvlearners.net". Students and teachers can interact with these programs using email, calendars, shared docs/sheets, groups, gadgets and more. ASU recently moved their entire student body to Goggle Apps.
As part of the pilot, I am planning to provide students in my biology classes with the opportunity to complete assignments using this technology throughout the rest of this school year. As some of you may know, I have already started making vodcasts (podcasts with video) for some of the assignments. You can view my vodcast site by clicking the "BCC" link on my webpage (http://jagaz.com) or on the link:
http://web.mac.com/jagaz/iWeb/BCCVodcasts/Vodcasts/Vodcasts.html
If for any reason a student is unable or prefers not to access the Internet for assignments, there will be no penalty for using paper and pencil on any of them.
In order for me to accept from and send electronic correspondence (email, assignments, etc.) to students, I need written parental permission.
Please sign and return this letter indicating that your student has permission to participate in the "pvlearners.net" pilot. Feel free to call or send me an email if you have any further questions about this program.
