Keeping our students safe

It is important that we not only teach our students how to stay safe online and how to be a good digital citizen, but we also need to model this behavior to our students so they understand the importance of making good choices.
Many sites have age restrictions to keep them in line with COPA guidelines and restrictions.  Before you allow your student to use any website, you should first check it out yourself, make sure the content is appropriate, and search for the Terms of Use to see what ages the site is intended for. Many sites require students to be 13 or older to use the site or to have an account.  Other sites require people to be 18 or older. These guidelines are in place to protect your children from predators and inappropriate content.
