Online Safety Pledge

Online Safety Pledge Room 15


I want to use the computer for email. 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 while using school email.
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 a picture of myself or others over the Internet without my teachers’/parents’ permission.
4. I will not fill out any form or request online that asks me for any information about my school, my family, or myself while using school email.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” while using school email.
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 language while using school email.
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. This has to do with cyber-bullying.
11. Until the end of the school year I will only use this email account at school, unless my teacher gives me special permission.
