📢 Parent Update: CyberSWAT Online Safety Lessons
West Virginia now requires all public schools to provide annual online‑safety instruction for students in grades 3–12 under Senate Bill 466. Parents who would like to read the bill can find it here:
Senate Bill 466
To meet this requirement, our students will be completing CyberSWAT Skyll lessons—interactive, age‑appropriate sessions that teach safe and responsible technology use.
These lessons address several important topics, including:
Recognizing online predators
Understanding the risks of sexting or sharing explicit materials
Cyberbullying prevention
Human trafficking awareness
Safe use of online communication platforms
How to identify, avoid, and report dangerous or illegal online behavior
The parent letter has been sent home with 6-12th grade students and will be sent home with grades 3-5 next week. It explains that the SWAT program provides interactive lessons focused on digital literacy and online safety.
Parents can preview a sample lesson here:
CyberSWAT Sample Lesson
Thank you for partnering with us to help keep students safe as they navigate today’s digital world.
