Rules for On-line Safety

 
Do not give out any personal information such as address, telephone number, or parents' place of work
 
Do not give out the addresses, telephone numbers, or the names of your school or after school activities.
 
Tell you parents immediately if you see anything or anyone that makes you feel uncomfortable.
 
Never agree to get together with someone you meet on-line without first checking with your parents.
 
Never send a person your picture or anything else personal without first checking with your parents.
 
Do not respond to any messages that are mean or that in any way make you feel uncomfortable.  It is not your fault if you get a message like that.  If you do, tell your parents right away so that they can report it to the on-line service.
 
Talk with your parents so that they can set up rules for going on-line.  Decide upon a time of day that you can be on-line, the length of time, and the appropriate areas that you can visit.
 
Do not access other areas or break the rules without parental permission.
