In today’s digital world, children have greater access to technology than ever before. While the internet offers many educational and social benefits, it’s essential to ensure that children stay safe online. We teach our students about the importance of staying safe online and the lasting impact their digital footprint can have on their future. However, we greatly appreciate the support you provide at home in reinforcing these vital lessons.
We encourage you to:
✅ Monitor your child’s online activity – Know what apps, games, and websites they are using.
✅ Set parental controls – Use filters and privacy settings to protect them from inappropriate content.
✅ Encourage open conversations – Talk to your child about online dangers, including cyberbullying and speaking to strangers.
✅ Promote safe habits – Teach them to use strong passwords, avoid sharing personal information, and think before they post.
For more information on keeping your child safe online, we have compiled a selection of parent guides covering key topics such as age ratings, gaming, popular apps, and managing screen time.

We appreciate your support in helping to create a safe and responsible online environment for our children.
