following in mind:

not private.

who they say they are.
• Anyone can put information
online.
• You can’t trust everything you
read online.

10. Are you
addicted to the
Internet?
Look for symptoms
of Internet
dependency.
Ask yourself if
your Internet use is
affecting your
school
performance,
health, and
relationships with
family and friends.

11. Using Internet communication tools such as social
media, e-mail, and instant messaging can put you at
potential risk of encountering online predators.
Online predators try to gradually
seduce their targets through attention,
affection, kindness, and even gifts,
and often devote considerable time,
money, and energy to this effort.
Certain sites have been blocked by the district. Do not
attempt to override these blocks
