Internet Safety

The internet is a fun place to learn and play. But just like in real life, you need to stay safe online. There are simple rules you can follow to protect yourself.

Staying Safe Online

Never share your full name, address, or phone number online. Do not talk to strangers on the internet. If someone says something mean or scary, tell a trusted adult right away.

Use strong passwords that are hard to guess. Do not click on links you do not know. Always ask a parent before downloading anything.

Being Kind Online

Treat people online the way you want to be treated. Do not say mean things in messages or comments. Remember that real people are behind every screen.

If you see something that makes you feel bad, close the screen and talk to an adult. It is always okay to ask for help.
