Internet Safety

Do you know how to choose a website that is perfect for your age?  How are you being a positive digital citizen?  What do you do to stay safe online? 
These are some of the questions that we will be answering this month when we learn internet safety.  In this age of digital literacy it is important for students to understand which websites are good choices and which to stay away from.  First through third graders are learning about online stranger danger.  Fourth and fifth grade students will be reviewing online safety and learning internet etiquette. 
Remember these rules:

Be sure to have an adult monitoring your online access.
Everyone that you don't know is a stranger, do not give them personal information.

Steer clear of online friends.  Never meet up with someone you met online.
Always ask permission when sending email, chatting, or downloading.
Find an adult to tell if you see or read something that bothers you.   
Exit websites or steer clear of online friends that make you uncomfortable.

Stay safe and enjoy learning from our vast internet!
