Staying Safe Online
Staying safe online and being a good digital citizen are important when you have a device with you 24/7. We'll provide training to students in school and to families after school, throughout the year. Some of these events will be produced in collaboration with the School Community Council. Don't wait for a training if you have questions; there's lots of information available online about these topics as well. Common Sense Media and the Family Online Safety Institute are two good places to start. If you'd like to speak with someone about concerns, contact Karen McCalla, Librarian via email or by phone at 775-3451 x216.
