In light of the above, I commit to the following

• Develop a plan with my parent (s) around technology use at home (time, location, turning off my phone or leaving it away from me at bedtime, online purchasing, etc.).
• Always use strong passwords and change them regularly. Strong passwords contain numbers, capital and small letters and/or symbols. Do not share passwords with anyone – even best friends – other than parent(s).
• Log in using only my own username and password; I never log in as someone else.
• If my school account is compromised in any way, I will contact the administration immediately for help.
• Keep my primary email address only for use by my friends and family.
• Digital harassment is not acceptable at any time. I will consult a trusted adult to work out a solution or get help when someone is mean, insulting, or obscene online or who makes me feel uncomfortable.
• Be a good online citizen and not do anything that hurts others, defames the school and any member of the school community, or is against the law.
• Do not fight, swear, or gossip through email, instant messages or social networking platforms and report anything on the internet that is considered wrong, inappropriate or criminal in nature. Do not respond to inflammatory, obscene, or insulting messages.
• Do not provide personal information or post or share personal pictures of myself or others on the Internet, by phone, or any other mobile platform.
• I will not lie about my age to join any website; I understand that the rules are designed to help keep me safe.
• Never download from unknown sources or websites that we do not trust any pictures, freeware, shareware, or tests.
• Plagiarism is considered cheating; pirating music, movies, and games is stealing.
• When accessing private files (from school or home) using public or shared computers, always sign out of the system and delete cookies, browsing

history, and temporary files to ensure strangers cannot gain access to my information.
There are serious consequences for not following these rules. Those consequences may include losing the privilege to use my phone, other mobile platforms, or computers at home and school, suspension or expulsion from school, and the risk of legal consequences.
This digital citizenship plan is for my well-being and safety.
