The Holy Family Catholic Regional Division has announced its upcoming Cyber Awareness Week, scheduled to run from February 18th to February 21st.
Officials say the week will focus on educating students and their families regarding the importance of cybersecurity, online safety, and digital citizenship.
Throughout the week, students will participate in a variety of activities designed to foster responsible use of technology. Key themes for the division include understanding the risks of online activity, recognizing what cyberbullying looks like, and protecting personal information.
HFCRD Superintendent Betty Turpin says the week is prudent as the use of technology continues to penetrate the working world, and the classroom in recent years.
“We recognize the growing importance of educating our students and their families on
how to navigate the digital world safely and responsibly,” she says. “Cyber Awareness Week is an opportunity to equip our students with the knowledge and skills they need to stay safe while fostering a culture of respect and kindness online.”
The division says they are “committed” to promoting safe learning environments both in the classroom and online.
