Student Safety Guidelines for Telecommunications

• I will not give out personal information such as my address, telephone number, parent's work address/telephone number, or the name and location of my school without my parent's or teacher's permission.
• I will tell my parents or teacher right away if I come across any information that is inappropriate.
• I will never agree to get together with someone I "meet" online without first checking with my parents. If my parents agree to the meeting, I will be sure that it is in a public place and bring my mother or father along.
• I will never send a person my picture or anything else without first checking with my parents.
• I will not respond to any messages that are mean or in any way make me feel uncomfortable. It is not my fault if I get a message like that. If I do I will tell my parents right away so that they can contact the online service.
• I will talk with my parents so that we can set up rules for going online at home. We will decide upon the time of day that I can be online, the length of time I can be online, and appropriate areas for me to visit. I will not access other areas or break these rules without their permission.
• I will know the purpose for using online services at school.
• I will be a responsible user.
