The Importance of Internet Safety for Students

Providing internet safety for our students is a constant challenge at home and in our schools.   Our surveys reveal that nearly all of our students have access to the internet at home.  The internet can be a great tool for learning but it can also be a dangerous place to navigate, frightening and confusing many parents.  Parents are often left wondering what they need to do to monitor their children, how the best way to do this is, and to what extent.  This leaves many teachers, parents, and administrators throwing our hands in the air, frustrated.  We need to continue to have a conversation about the importance of this issue, finding the best way to keep our students safe.

This blog will help to educate our parents on how to keep their children safe, yet also raise questions and issues as to how we continue to do this in our school.  It is the job of the school to empower parents at home, giving them the tools they need to ensure cyber safety at home.
