Cyber Safety Presentations

Also attending this presentation will be students from Immaculate Conception School and The Learning Center for the Deaf. The presentation covers topics such as Being Safe and Secure Online, Social Media 101, Digital Footprint, Gaming, and more.

The evening presentation will highlight the internet habits, questions and concerns our students may have expressed during their daytime presentation. Click here for the FLYER.
