Student Page Kids' Rules for Online Safety I will not give out personal information such as my address, telephone number, parents’ work address/telephone number, or the name and location of my school without my parents’ permission. I will never send a person my picture or anything else without first checking with my parents. I will help my parents understand how to have fun and learn things online and teach them things about the Internet, computers and other technology. I will tell my teacher right away if I come across any information that makes me feel uncomfortable.
