Dickinson Independent School District is dedicated to ensuring that all students are successful and safe online. We have parents, students, and staff sign an Acceptable Use of Electronic Communications agreement that details the measures taken to ensure that a safe and secure learning environment is provided for all students. Teachers conduct specific lessons to specifically target Cyber Awareness at each grade level, in order to reinforce the concepts throughout their education in DISD. Although these measures are taken, students are still able to access the internet at home or in public areas outside of their school environment which are unsecure and pose potential risks for students. We encourage you to talk to your child and establish a dialogue regarding internet safety.Monitor your child's Internet use consistently. This is not a violation of your child's privacy ; this is a safeguarding measure and part of your responsibility as a parent.Learn if your child belongs to a social networking site ( MySpace, Facebook, Tagged, Xanga, etc ),Look closely at what information they have posted in their member profiles and blogs, including photos and videos.Talk to your child about your Internet safety concerns in a positive way and give them the opportunity to make safety resolutions that you can both live with ( example, how much time can be spent online? Are chat rooms permitted? ).Explain that your child should: NEVER give out personal information ( name, address, phone, school name ), NEVER meet anyone from online without your permission, NEVER open emails from unknown senders, and NEVER share their photo with strangers over the Internet.
