Internet Safety Discussed in Class Today


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.
