Internet Safety

Parents:    
  Your student has or will receive an Internet Safety Card in English class on May 7 or 10. The card itself serves as a reminder to be careful on the internet. It also gives two websites students (and parents) should be aware of.
      The first is a link to help students deal with cyberfullying and  phishing scams, and remember the importance of not giving out personal information:   http://www.netsafeutah.org/index.php 
You'll probably want to browse through the videos available on many aspects of internet safety, and select some to watch with your child.

    The second is an online resource that has games, homework help, and access to Pioneer Library.  Yes, I just spent too much time playing the "Can You Find the Differences" games, but they're fun! http://www.uen.org/k12student/interactives.shtml
