Parents:

• Keep the computer in public area of your home.
• Limit time on the internet.
• Notice if your child is closing out of Internet pages when you walk into the room.
• Stay involved.  Talk to your child about what they are doing online.  Spend time letting them show you what is online.
• Ask to see their profile page often.
• Learn all you can about the Internet.

Students:

• Keep all passwords private.
• Don't post anything your parents, principal, or teachers couldn't see.
• Use only your login name when chatting online.  Never give out your real name.
• Never give out photos of yourself or family.
• Never give out your home address or school information.
• Never agree to meet anyone.  Not everyone online is a "friend".
• If you see or read something that upsets you or is offensive to you, stop or get your parents.
• Remember nothing you write online is totally private.
•  Always ask your parents if you have a question about something online.
