Last week we learned all about cyber safety. Children learned that even though you can’t touch people through devices, there are still safe and respectful ways to be with people when we’re talking with them digitally. They learned to use polite language and to not share personal information online.
Students also learned that they can stand up for themselves online when they are not feeling safe or respected. They can walk away, turn off the device and tell a trusted adult if something happens online that they don’t like. Ask your child about digital safety.
Please explore these excellent resources to support you in parenting children online.
