Cyber Safety, Texting and Bullying Safety Conference

Wednesday, March 31 – 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm
Kennedy Middle School Auditorium

Woburn Police School Resource Officer Division, Joyce and Kennedy PTO's are pleased to sponsor this free seminar for parents, teachers and other interested adults.

It seems that not a day goes by without reading about bullying, cyber-bullying, incidents of sexting and inappropriate use of social networking websites.  The internet offers almost limitless opportunities to gain knowledge and make contact with others. When used appropriately, it is a powerful and positive tool. However, school staff and parents need to be aware of the risks inherent in this technology.  Participants will learn about online issues impacting youth, such as social networking sites, predators, and sexting.

A member of the Middlesex DA’s office will do a two hour presentation on these important topics.  Effective prevention and intervention strategies for teachers, school staff and parents will be outlined and discussed. The Middlesex District Attorney's Office Cyber Protection Program, created in 2007 by District Attorney Gerry Leone, will also be discussed.
