ONLINE SAFETY PLEDGE:

By continuing to use this site and/or becoming a member of it, I understand that there are certain rules about what I should do online. I agree to follow these rules:

1. I will not give my name, address, telephone number, school, or my teachers’/parents’ names, addresses, or telephone numbers, to anyone I meet on the Internet.

2. I will not give out my email password to anyone (even my best friends) other than my teachers/parents.

3. I will not send inappropriate pictures of myself or others over the Internet.

4. I will not fill out any form or request online that asks me for any information about my school, my family, or myself without first asking for permission from my teachers/parents.

5. I will tell my teachers/parents if I see any bad language or pictures on the Internet, or if anyone makes me feel nervous or uncomfortable online.

6. I will never agree to get together with someone I “meet” online without first checking with my teachers/parents. If my teachers/parents agree to the meeting, I will be sure that it is in a public place and that I am accompanied by an adult at all times.

7. I will not use any articles, stories, or other works I find online and pretend it is my own.

8. I will not use bad or offensive language online.

9. I will practice safe computing, and check for viruses whenever I borrow a disk from someone, download something from the Internet, or receive an attachment.

10. I will be a good online citizen and not participate in any activity that hurts others or is against the law or my school’s policy.
