Tonasket schools schedule parent cyber-safety night; staff to receive follow-up training
Summary
High school and middle-school staff announced a parent-focused Cyber Safety night on March 16, a 'Hidden in Plain Sight' parent session and subsequent staff training, and noted apps such as Ome TV the district considers risky for students.
High School Principal Irving Smith summarized school activities and highlighted a parent-focused Cyber Safety family engagement night scheduled for March 16, stressing that "this family engagement night is not for kids; it is for parents to attend and learn about the dangers online that their students face." The school plans a Tap Root play to teach students about online safety and cyberbullying.
Middle School staff member Trisha Roach showed parents an example app (Ome TV) that staff consider inappropriate for students and described a 'Hidden in Plain Sight' event to help parents identify new hiding places and risky items in bedrooms. The presenter will follow up with staff training the next day. The district also noted programs used to monitor student online activity and the stress those programs can place on administrators.
