Cyber Safety Date Finalized!

We have finally set a date for our Cyber Safety Awareness Week! This event will help raise the awareness of the dangers the Cyber World posses for today’s teens. The event will also provide them information on what they can do to protect themselves from such dangers. If able, parents and community members are  welcome and greatly encouraged to attend the presentation which will take place Monday, April 4th starting at 12:30 in the gymnasium.

Here are a few things students can expect during the week:

Ø  Presentations by Dickey Rural Network & Dakota Central Communications (Elementary in a.m.; 7-12 in p.m.)
Ø  Breakout sessions: each focusing on a specific safety issue
Ø  Class “Cyber-Wise” competition: Q&A’s in core classes throughout the week based on facts and statistics
displayed around the school

Issues of focus will be on texting while driving & sexting (7-12 only) cyber bullying, online predators, online reputation, & ID theft.

A “Contract For Life” can be found at http://www.sadd.org/pdf/05SADD_CFL_FS_2.pdf . Please consider using this with your teen driver(s) to help them make a commitment to making safe and healthy driving decisions.
