Being a Good Digital Citizen

Student Responsibilities 

Students are responsible for ensuring their own behaviour is safe,  friendly and fair. This means following our school’s values when online  or using digital tools. 

At PBS, students are expected to: 

  • Keep it kind. When you are online, think about others and talk  or share in a kind way. Cyber bullying is not okay at any time.  Talk to an adult if this happens to you or a friend. 
  • Keep it to yourself. Keep your passwords and information about yourself or other people safe and private. 
  • Keep it careful. Think carefully about what you share and make  sure it’s something you are proud of and would be happy sharing  with someone else face to face. Tell an adult if you are feeling  unsafe or unsure. 
  • Keep it real. Not everything you see online is real. It might look  or sound real, but some things are made up or fake, so be careful  to check or ask an adult if you’re not sure. 
  • Keep it honest. When we copy or use words, pictures and ideas  from the internet, we need to make sure we share these things in  the right way and follow the rules for sharing things that don’t  belong to us. 
  • Keep it fair. Make sure you check with others if it is okay to  record them, or share photos or videos they are in. They should  have a say in what happens to things which include them. 
  • Keep it responsible. If you bring your own device or use a  school device, use it in ways and at the times that your teacher  says it is okay to. If you bring your own device, make sure you have charged it at home.
