Cyber Safety Awareness Week

We have finally set a date for our Cyber Safety Presentation which will be the kick off for a week of cyber safety awareness activities. On Monday March 21st we will have our middle & high school presentation starting at 12:30 pm. Issues that will be covered are cyber-bullying, online predators, online reputation & ID theft, sexting, and texting while driving. Following the presentation there will be breakout sessions that students will participate in to help them better understand the various issues, consequences of the decisions they make when using cyber technologies, and learn how they can keep themselves safe.

Parents and community members are welcome to attend the 12:30 presentation. This is a GREAT opportunity for you to learn a lot about the dangers and safety measures you can take to help keep your children and family safe in a cyber dependent world. If your schedule allows, I encourage you to consider attending this presentation!

Throughout the week there will be a competition in which grades 7-12 will compete to see which class can become the most "Cyber Wise" and possibly a poster or door decorating contest to be judged that Friday.

There will be some presentations in the elementary that day as well. Specifics of those presentations will be available soon and will be posted as soon as it is decided.

Please contact Mr. Engen or myself if you have questions or concerns about this awareness week.

  1. Okay...I guess I got ahead of myself by posting the date so quickly...we are postponing this until further notice. With Friday off, we felt that this may be a bit to short notice to get everything ready to go since I am only at the school on Wed. and Fri. Please stay posted for the new scheduled date. Sorry for the confusion!
