Welcome to Weights, Shakes, and Mug Cakes! We want all of our friends to feel comfortable, connected, and safe. That's why we have 3 rules we ask you to follow: Be Kind, Be Safe, and Be Respectful.

Be Kind - Be the one that makes everyone feel included!
Always be nice and make others, especially new members, know that they belong and are welcome. Of course this means, no teasing, name calling, or bullying!

Be Safe - Keep your personal information private and never ask others for theirs.
Personal things are personal. We want to keep you safe on Outschool, but we also want YOU to understand how to be safe when you're meeting other learners or teachers. Keep your full name, home address, gaming or social media name, email, and school name private.

Be Respectful - Treat others how you want to be treated.
Keep language clean and information you share safe. If you wouldn't say it at the dinner table or share it in your classroom, it's probably not for sharing here either. Swear words, inappropriate videos, and violent images are not allowed. Treat Outschool like a public place, and when in doubt, keep things covered. You can always ask your teacher privately before sharing if you are unsure!
