Cyber Education

Technology has become a heavy influence and a major part of our student’s lives. Our goal is to guide students to make good choices about how they act online. As new Apps become available, it can become difficult for parents to know how to help their child stay safe online. We always encourage students to not respond to any messages that consist of negative comments. It can be difficult for students to not respond to people online who are bothering them, however, by responding they are adding fuel and giving that person power. It is also best for students to report the person to an adult and/or site manager in addition to blocking/unfollow/unfriend the person.
