Alpharetta Elementary PTA

Be Safe Online

Rules For Online Safety

1. I will not give out personal information such as my address,telephone number, parent’s work address/telephone number, or the name and location of my school without my parent’s permission.
2. I will never agree to get together with someone I “meet” online without first checking with my parents.  If my parents agree to the meeting, I will be sure that it is in a public place and bring my mother or father along.
3. I will never send a person my picture or anything else without first checking with my parents.
4. I will not respond to any messages that are mean or in any way make me feel uncomfortable.  It is not my fault if I get a message like that.  If I do I will tell my parents right away so that they can contact the online service.
5. I will talk with my parents so that we can set up rules for going online.  We will decide upon the time of day that I can be online, the length of time I can be online, and appropriate areas for me to visit.  I will not access other areas or break these rules without their permission
