Dear parents of grade 6 students,
Today students attended a presentation by Darren Laur, a renowned internet safety presenter and member of the Victoria police. The talk addressed many important topics aimed at keeping children safe and becoming good digital citizens. Some of the topics addressed included Cyber Bullying and Sexting and their unintended consequences, and why students need to consider that everything they do on-line is public, permanent and searchable no matter what their privacy settings. These are important topics to address with pre-teens, but the experience may have been emotional for some students.
Darren Laur is speaking tonight at Happy Valley School from 6:30 – 8:30. All parents are welcome to come to learn more about this important topic. You can find more information about the presentation at http://www.personalprotectionsystems.ca/programs/internet-safety/internet-safety-schools.html.
In addition, the grade 6 students are having their DARE grad on Friday at 1:00 in the gym. Parents are welcome to attend this celebration.
Sincerely,
Martina Craig Rupert Gadd
Vice-Principal Teacher-In-Charge
