Internet Safety

  • Only go to sites that your parents and teachers have said are OK.

  • Remember never to give out personal information such as your name, home address, school name, or telephone number in a chat room or while texting. Also, never send a picture of yourself to someone you text with without your parent's permission.

  • Do not meet someone or have them visit you without the permission of your parents.

  • Tell your parents right away if someone you don't know tries to text or chat with you.

    • Remember that people online may not be who they say they are. Someone who says that "she" is a "12-year-old girl" could really be an older man.
