​

• 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.
