The safety of our students is our chief concern as educators. We strive to keep our students safe in the building, on the playground, and when traveling to and from school. As the digital world becomes more prevalent in the academic and social aspects of students’ lives, it is important that students are taught how to keep themselves safe online.
Some simple rules for internet safety are:
Never share personal information (name, age, address, school) online.
Never share passwords (unless with parents).
Tell a trusted adult if you feel uncomfortable or scared by something online.
Never post something mean, rude, or hurtful online.
Ohio Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force (ICAC) has strategies to keep children safe online. More information about ICAC and resources for you and your student(s) can be found at ohioicac.org.
