Safety Tips For Students

  • Never give anyone your WLCSD network password or Google account information.
  • Some websites ask you to give personal information to qualify to win a prize. NEVER give out personal information without your parents' permission.
  • Anyone can post anything to a website. Review websites carefully. Your teachers will help you learn how to do this.
  • When you copy information from a website, or other electronic resources, you MUST cite the source or it is plagiarizing. If you do copy and paste information, put it in quotation marks and list the source where you obtained it.
  • When you copy pictures, video, or sound clips, you must also cite the source where you obtained them.
  • Do not play games, send instant messages, or access inappropriate websites during school. Remember that the laptop is a tool for learning. If you choose to do any of these things, you are jeopardizing the laptop program and your integrity. There will be consequences as established by the Walled Lake Consolidated Schools Student Code of Conduct.
  • The district has a filter to prevent you from accessing inappropriate websites. People who post pornographic images or who are involved in hate groups often find ways to get around filters. If you accidentally stumble upon an inappropriate website, quickly exit, close your lid, and tell your teacher. DO NOT show or discuss what happened with your classmates. Be sure to follow this procedure.
  • Do not use peer-to-peer file sharing services. These sites allow strangers from all over the world to share files. They can be used to download movies, TV shows, music, software, and more. File sharing can cause serious problems. You could be breaking copyright laws and identity thieves could be gathering personal information about you.
