Internet Safety:
​
-
Always Ask Permission: Always ask a teacher before using the internet, especially for new websites or apps.
​​
-
Stay Private: Never share personal information online, such as your full name, address, phone number, or school name. Keep your passwords secret and don’t share them with anyone except trusted adults.
​​
-
Think Before You Click: Be cautious when clicking on links, opening emails, or downloading files. If something seems suspicious or unfamiliar, ask an adult for help.
​​
-
Use Safe Websites: Stick to websites and apps that are age-appropriate and trusted by parents or teachers. Avoid websites with inappropriate content. (rest assured, websites accessed are only those on the list to access by admin.)
​​
-
Be Kind Online: Treat others with respect and kindness in all online interactions. Avoid cyberbullying and report any bullying behavior to a trusted adult.​​
​​
-
Know When to Log Off: Take regular breaks from screens and know when it’s time to log off. Spending too much time online can be unhealthy.
​​
-
Be Honest: If you see something online that makes you feel uncomfortable or scared, don’t be afraid to talk to a trusted adult about it. They are there to help keep you safe.
​​
-
Respect Copyright: Don’t download or share copyrighted material without permission. This includes music, videos, images, and software.
​​
-
Keep Communication Open: Keep an open line of communication with your teachers or guardians about your online activities. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to talk to them.
