as your own without citing the original creator),
including words or images, from the Internet
Students should not take credit for things they didn’t
create themselves, or misrepresent themselves as an
author or creator of something found online

If you see a message, comment, image, or anything else
online that makes you concerned for your personal
safety, bring it to the immediate attention of
a teacher if you are at school
a parent / guardian if you are at home
19. Students should never share personal information
about themselves or others, including phone
numbers, addresses, PPS numbers and birth-
dates over the Internet without adult permission
Students should never agree to meet someone
they meet online in real life without parental

20. Online bullying
Harassing, flaming, denigrating, impersonating, outing, tricking,
excluding and cyber-stalking are all examples of cyber-bullying.
Such bullying will not be tolerated in PCS
Don’t be mean.
Don’t send emails or post comments or photos with the intent of
scaring, hurting, or intimidating someone else
Photos taken without permission within the school or on any of its
activities will be fully investigated
21. Engaging in any online activities intended to harm
(physically or emotionally) another person, will result
in severe disciplinary action...
Never impersonate anyone online – if you are doing
so close down that account this evening
22. In some cases, cyber-bullying is a crime
Remember that your activities are monitored and
retained
The school will support students, teachers and
parents in dealing with cyber-bullying.
