Based on the last General PTO Meeting...
Internet Safety Tips for Parents:
- Keep all computers with Internet access in a public room
of your home (for example: living room, dining room, etc)
2. Be in the same room and monitor your child while they are
on the Internet.
3. Have a list of rules concerning when they can use the
Internet, what information they can give out and what
they can (and can not) do without your permission.
4. Use the Parental Controls offered by your Internet Provider.
5. Have your child use sites that are created for children. This is especially
true if your child visits a chat room. Children's chat rooms
feature an adult monitor to ensure the appropriateness of the discussion.
6. Promote your child telling you if anything upsets them or makes them
feel uncomfortable while on the Internet.
7. Have a password that you must enter to allow them to go on the Internet.
Insist on knowing all of their passwords.
8. Read and review their email and all correspondence via the Internet.
