How Can I, As a Parent, make sure my child is safe online?

Are you looking for ways to help your child navigate the online world in a safe and healthy way?

This online community is updated regularly and includes a section filled with parent tips for different ages from preschool to teenagers.

What safety practices will my child learn at school?

During media center, Beck students participate in Common Sense Education lessons with themes including privacy and security, media balance and well-being and responsible choices online. Each year, the lessons build upon previous skills and expand their understanding of how to make choices online that promote a healthy mind and body. Working together we can help our Beck students stay safe online and use technology in positive ways that promote learning.
