Digital Safety is more important now than ever before. With the technology integration in our schools, we have a responsibility to educate our school communities on the important of safely using the many facets of the digital world. It is imperative to enable our students to engage creatively with their learning through use of technology tools, which are integrated throughout the curriculum, as well as provide a safe and secure physical and virtual environment.
Through in-class education of digital citizenship principles and safeguarding programs, our schools are ensuring that our students learn the positive sides of digital education, along with the potential dangers, if used incorrectly. We aim to prepare students to navigate and lead in our technological society safely.
BARK for Schools is a student and school safety product that detects potential problems across G Suite and Chrome to help protect students. Using artificial intelligence, BARK scans school issued accounts for potential issues like threats of violence, cyberbullying, and more.

In partnership with our families and school communities working together, we will ensure that our students remain digitally safe.
Below are valuable links with information and resources to learn more about being safe online:
“The Internet is a gift of God, but it is also a great responsibility. Communication technology, its places, its instruments have brought with it a lengthening of horizons, a widening, for so many people. It can offer immense possibilities for encounter and solidarity. May the digital network not be a place of alienation. May it be a concrete place, a place rich in humanity. Let us pray together that social networks may work towards that inclusiveness, which respects others for their differences.”
-Pope Francis
