A few simple habits can help keep your family safe online:
-
Pause before clicking. Be cautious with unexpected links, attachments, and messages—even when they appear to come from someone you know.
-
Protect your accounts. Use a different password for each account and turn on two-step verification when available. Never share verification codes.
-
Keep devices updated. Install updates on phones, computers, and tablets.
-
Talk with your children. Remind them to protect personal information and tell a trusted adult if something online seems suspicious or makes them uncomfortable.
If a message claiming to be from the school seems unusual, contact us through a familiar phone number or email address to verify it.
