Whoa! This Internet Safety Information is really important!

South Eugene High School, Spencer Butte Middle School and Roosevelt Middle School parents had an eye opener at SEHS Parent Council's debut Parent Education Series on Teen Internet Safety.

A huge thank you goes out to our presenter for the evening, Deputy Sheriff Steve Sieczkowski, from the Lane County Sheriff's Office, who volunteers his time to teach Internet and Your Child safety classes. He provided parents will chilling information on just how easy it is for a person with mal intent to track down the location of a child from a chat room by looking up their e-mail and tracing this to a phone number and then to their address. Yikes!

We barely scratched the surface of this important topic so we encourage you to consider taking the full day, $15.00 course offered by Steve and his fellow volunteers through Lane Community College's Continuing Education Program. To find out more, contact Lane at (541) 463-5252.

Check out the new Blog Safety Tips link on the right hand column of this page. This site provides you with some great tips for protecting your teen against the dangers they and you may not realize they are facing on the internet.

Watch for information to come out each month on Parent Council's Parent Education Series, designed to bring the SEHS parent community together around topics of importance to our children and us.
