Calling All Parents!

Parents are a vital part of the equation when it comes to raising responsible digital citizens. Educate yourself about your child's digital life - it is likely to be very different from what you experiences as a child. Keep the lines of communication open with your child, other parents and your child's school. Remember, it takes a village to raise a child!
