Internet Safety
Grades 6-8----February 11th has been designated Safer Internet Day. During the week of February 10th – 14th your child will participate in an Internet Safety Presentation at his or her school.

The internet has changed the way we communicate. With this change comes a new set of precautions of which students need to be aware. This includes how to remain safe online and an awareness of the risks involved in sharing photos, videos, or personal information whether it’s via a computer, a game console, a tablet, or a cell phone.
We encourage you to take some time to discuss with your child the information they received. By having these discussions at home, you will help reinforce important safety strategies learned at school and ensure your child is better prepared to properly deal with difficult situations she/he may encounter.
 
 
Grades 3-5-----The week of February 10-14th is Safer Internet Week and, your child will be introduced to the Zoe and Molly Online safety kit (grades 3 and 4) or Media Smarts (grade 5); both are exciting new educational tools to help teachers and parents teach their children how to stay safe online. We encourage you to visit the websites (zoeandmolly.ca or mediasmarts.ca), read the story with your child and/or complete the online activities. By completing these activities at home, you will help reinforce important safety strategies and ensure your child is better prepared to properly deal with difficult situations s/he may encounter online.
