Using the computer/device is a privilege. In order to enjoy this privilege and use the computer, we agree to follow these rules:
· We get permission before accessing the Internet.
· The things we do on the computer and other devices are not secret or confidential, and we do not hide what we are doing.
· We visit web sites that are appropriate for our age. We don't visit web sites or access information that are “off limits” for us.
· We get permission before downloading apps or making purchases online.
· We tell our parents about anything we see online or in a text message that makes us uncomfortable.
· We only use email accounts that our parents know about.
· We don't enter chat rooms. Instant messaging is only allowed with people we already know. Our parents must approve the members of our "buddies list."
· We don't respond to messages from people we don't know.
· " Friends" are people we know in real life. People we only know online get limited access.
· We share our passwords with our parents so they can monitor our online activities.
· If we're using a public Wi-Fi "hot spot," We never enter account numbers, passwords, or any other information
· These rules apply to our home computer and all other iPhone and iPad and notebook computers and electronic devices we use.
Be aware that people may not be who they say they are. Someone who says she is a 10-year old girl may really be an older man.

Anal and oral sex are NOT taught. The words “anal intercourse” are provided as an example in Grade 7 as follows: “Explain the importance of having a shared understanding with a partner about the following: delaying sexual activity until they are older (e.g., choosing to abstain from any genital contact; choosing to abstain from having vaginal or anal intercourse; choosing to abstain from having oral-genital contact); the reasons for not engaging in sexual activity; the concept of consent and how consent is communicated; and, in general, the need to communicate clearly with each other when making decisions about sexual activity in the relationship.”
This means that a teacher could use this as an optional prompt, but it is not expected as part of the curriculum. If it were mentioned it would be in the context of delaying sexual activity, including anal intercourse or oral-genital contact. This is listed because with misinformation or lack of information, sometimes students do not know that sexual behaviours other than vaginal intercourse still pose risks of sexually transmitted disease.
