IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR PARENTS
|
If students have access to the Internet outside of school, make sure they are being properly monitored. If used correctly, the Internet is a great tool that could be very educational and fun. If not used correctly, the Internet could expose students to inappropriate material. Below are some Internet safety rules that students should always follow:
1. Never give out personal information while using the Internet. 2. Always stay on appropriate web sites. 3. Tell an adult when you are uncomfortable with anything you see or read while online. 4. Never talk to people that you do not know on the Internet unless first talking with an adult. 5. If you ever feel unsafe on the Internet tell an adult.
