Dear PS 101 Families,
October is National Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a time to spotlight the importance of online safety—especially for children. To support this effort, a practical guide was created that provides tips and resources specifically designed to help parents safeguard their children on social media platforms and during online gaming. Please note that the guide is available in all NYCPS languages and is available on the Cybersecurity Awareness Month page (under A Quick Guide for Parents in the Digital Age).
