Protecting Our Students

General Online Safety Tips
•Only friend people you really and truly know.
•Don't trust everyone you meet online -- even if they claim to be a "mutual friend".
•Don't post personal info about yourself or your family, that you're having problems at home, work or school, etc.
•Don't post suggestive, obscene or compromising photos.
•Don't fill out surveys -- this just gives other people more personal information about you.
•Do have fun with it -- post goofy photos, fun photos, photos of vacations, the bands you like, etc are great.
•If you really need to "vent" about bad things happening in your life, buy a paper journal or diary and write in it when you need to.
•Don't create groups or pages that harass or bully another student or person -- you WILL get in trouble.
•Don't post your cell or home phone, home address or where you work.
•The more information you put in a profile, the easier it will be for a potential bully, stalker or predator to use that information *against* you.
•Employers and colleges/universities monitor social networking sites and do "Google" searches -- you may lose a job or admission to the school of your dreams because of what you do online
