While the Internet can be a great tool in enhancing one's knowledge and education, it is strongly recommended that parents pay close attention to what children are doing on the computer. The Toronto District School Board's ONLINE Code of Conduct must be agreed to and signed by a parent/guardian before a student can use the Internet at school. View the ONLINE Code of Conduct.
