Safety is our top priority when students are learning in school or at a distance. Help us encourage online safety for students by:

1. Using sites that protect student information. Look for sites that start with an https//: like LaunchPad
2. Requiring students to be signed in to the Chrome browser using their OCPS student account
3. Use technology in open common spaces, if possible, never allow video conferencing behind closed doors
4. Discuss the difference between personal vs. private information with students and remind them to keep passwords private.
