Internet Safety Assembly
On Friday, January 22, students in grades 3-5 met in Grade 4 with Principal Loffredo and Officer Schwartz. With iPads now in all these students hands we felt it important to discuss online safety. Together Officer Schwartz and I spoke about online safety and cyber bullying- giving real-world examples, and gave the following 4 simple rules.
Online Safety Rules (now hanging in their classrooms)
1. Tell a trusted adult if anything you see online makes you feel sad, scared, or confused.
2. Ask a trusted adult BEFORE sharing information like your name, address, phone number, school name, passwords and photos.
3. Don’t meet anyone face-to-face from the Internet without a parent/trusted adult present.
4. Always use good ‘netiquette’ and don’t be rude or mean online.
Please reiterate these Safety Rules with your child(ren) and be their role model! Thank you for your support.
Please remind your child(ren) to bring in their iPad and headphones daily- fully charged. The world is at their fingertips!
