Bullying Report Form

Not monitoring your child’s device usage can expose them to several risks, including inappropriate content, online predators, and cyberbullying. Without guidance and oversight, children might stumble upon harmful websites, interact with strangers, or fall victim to scams. They may also inadvertently share personal information that could be misused. Monitoring and setting rules help ensure they use technology safely and responsibly, fostering a secure online environment where they can enjoy learning and entertainment without unnecessary risks.

Elementary staff have been working on incorporating the ND Cybersecurity Standards into everyday classroom content.

They will be recognized on the school website and FB page as well as receive a small reward for their accomplishment.
