Staying Safe Online

At Stylebook Education, your safety matters—both in the classroom and online. The internet is an incredible place to learn, share, and connect, but it’s also important to know how to stay protected. This page is here to help you navigate the digital world safely and confidently.

Protect Your Personal Information

Keep personal details private—like your full name, address, phone number, school name, and passwords. Only share this kind of information with trusted people, and never post it publicly online.

Top tip: If you wouldn’t write it on a classroom whiteboard, don’t share it online.

Use Strong, Unique Passwords

Your passwords are the keys to your accounts. Use a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols, and avoid using the same password for everything.

Remember: Never share your password—even with your friends.

Think Before You Click

Not everything online is what it seems. Be cautious about clicking on links in emails, messages, or websites that seem suspicious. If it feels “off,” it probably is.

Look out for:

Messages asking for money or personal info
Unusual spelling or grammar
Strange or unexpected links

Be Kind & Respectful

Treat others how you’d like to be treated. If you see cyberbullying, report it. Online actions have real-world consequences, and kindness always counts.

Check Your Privacy Settings

Most apps and social media platforms allow you to control who can see your content. Take a moment to review your privacy settings and make sure you’re only sharing with people you trust.

Talk to Someone You Trust

If something online makes you feel uncomfortable, upset, or unsafe, tell a parent, teacher, or trusted adult. You’re never alone, and speaking up is always the right choice.

Stay Up to Date

Technology changes quickly. Regularly updating your devices, apps, and antivirus software helps keep you secure and protected from the latest threats.
