IMPORTANT PARENT/TEACHER AND STUDENT INFORMATION:

What is Cyberbullying?

Social Networking - MySpace.com and ANY SOCIAL NETWORKING ON THE DISD SCHOOL NETWORK
AND COMPUTERS IS PROHIBITED

MySpace.com and other similar sites are designed to allow people to share their personal information, including pictures, names and addresses, schools they attend, cell and home phone numbers, and pretty much any information they can think of. The minimum age requirement of MySpace.com is eighteen years old; however the safeguards they use to verify age are not foolproof. The content contained within MySpace.com is not monitored nor are contacts that your child may make. Below is an excerpt taken from MySpace.com

“…However, there are problems with minors lying about their age and posting profiles; there are problems with some adult members using the site to harass members or solicit illegal activities; there are problems with sexually explicit images posted as well—all of which violate MySpace’s Acceptable Use Policies”.
