Today is Internet Safety Day. Child sexual exploitation and abuse (CSEA) is a horrific crime that targets some of the most vulnerable people in our communities — children and teens. Resources for education, prevention and intervention of CSEA can be found at https://www.dhs.gov/know2protect
If you know of an incident, you can report it at the bottom of any Know2Protect webpage, by calling 988 for crisis support or 911 for an emergency.
The attached list provides ten steps you can take to prevent CSEA and create a safe digital experience for your child.

Our 6th graders had an amazing day at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago! They visited the Blue Paradox exhibit to learn about microplastics and how they impact our waterways, then explored the rest of the museum. It was a fun, hands-on learning experience all around. Thanks to #SCJcares for making this experience possible!
