Internet Safety

Dear Friends of Gefen and Tamar,

This morning a Framingham police officer visited MWJDS to speak to grades four through seven about Internet safety and cyber bullying. Students learned how to protect themselves from online predators and the signs to look out for. They also learned how detrimental it can be to post private pictures and/or personal information online. We talked about things going "viral." The officer talked about the gravity of Internet crimes also. Students learned the possible consequences that come as a result of doing things like Internet stalking and threatening, etc. The talk was not designed to frighten the students, but rather to keep them safe. We did debrief afterwards in the classroom, but I urge you to revisit the topic with your children at home in case they have any lingering questions or concerns.

Best,
Hamorah Eliza
