Safety

December 7, 2011 

Dear OEC Parents & Guardians:

As we continue to cultivate and encourage an effective partnership in supporting students in school at and home, we would also like to maintain safety for students as well.

One of the growing areas that safety is needed for our students is in regards to the internet/cyberspace. Although our students have all had a course in school internet/cyberspace safety during computer class at the beginning of the school year, we wanted to make sure that we continue to provide them with safeguards for internet/cyberspace at home in the way of information for parents.

The OEC website contains a link with information from the following sites regarding parents maintaining internet/cyberspace safety at home. Please review:
