Stay SMART Online
Check out some tips for keeping yourself safe on the Internet!
Protect Yourself When E-mailing!
Unwanted e-mails may contain viruses. Make sure you tell your parents if you receive an e-mail that might not be safe!
Who are you chatting with?
You may think you know who you are chatting with, but they could be lying about who they really are. Only be friends with people online if you are friends with them in real life.
Why is Internet Safety Important?
Strangers on the Internet can be very dangerous. Sometimes people do not tell the truth about who they are on the Internet so you should only "friend" people that you know in real life. If someone is bothering you or bullying you on the Internet, you need to tell a parent right away. Cyber bullying is not acceptable. Do not give out personal information without a parent's permission on the internet because someone can steal your information! You should always talk to your parents about your activity on the Internet and always ask for permission when using the computer.
