October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month:
Staying Safe Online: October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month at U-46!

Technology opens incredible doors for learning, creativity, and connection. This is especially true across our Student Chromebook program in U-46. However, staying safe online requires smart habits both in the classroom and at home.
During Cybersecurity Awareness Month, we encourage families to talk about digital safety together.

Here are four simple rules to keep your family's personal information safe online:

4 Simple Rules for Digital Safety at Home

Rule 1: Build Strong Passwords & Keep Them Secret
Teach your child that passwords are like house keys, never share them with friends, and avoid easy guesses like birthdays or pet names.

Rule 2: Pause Before You Click
Scammers use fake emails, text messages, and game pop-ups promising free items or prizes. If a link or message feels urgent or suspicious, don't click on it.

Rule 3: Keep Devices Updated
Restart Chromebooks and family devices regularly so software updates can install the latest security patches automatically.

Rule 4: Protect Personal Information
Remind children never to post full names, home addresses, phone numbers, or school locations on public games or social platforms.

Octubre es el Mes de la Concientización sobre la Ciberseguridad:

Mantenerse seguro en línea: ¡Octubre es el Mes de la Concientización sobre la Ciberseguridad en el distrito U-46!

La tecnología abre puertas increíbles para el aprendizaje, la creatividad y la conexión. Esto es especialmente cierto en el marco de nuestro programa de Chromebooks para estudiantes en el distrito U-46. Sin embargo, mantenerse seguro en línea requiere adoptar hábitos inteligentes, tanto en el salón de clases como en el hogar.

Durante el Mes de la Concientización sobre la Ciberseguridad, animamos a las familias a conversar sobre la seguridad digital. Aquí presentamos cuatro reglas sencillas para mantener protegida la información personal de su familia en línea:

4 reglas sencillas para la seguridad digital en el hogar

Regla 1: Cree contraseñas seguras y manténgalas en secreto

Explíquele a su hijo(a) que las contraseñas son como las llaves de la casa: nunca deben compartirse con amigos. Además, evite usar datos fáciles de adivinar, como fechas de nacimiento o nombres de mascotas.

Regla 2: Piense antes de hacer clic

Los estafadores utilizan correos electrónicos falsos, mensajes de texto y ventanas emergentes en juegos que prometen artículos gratuitos o premios. Si un enlace o mensaje parece urgente o sospechoso, no haga clic en él.

Regla 3: Mantenga los dispositivos actualizados

Reinicie las Chromebooks y los dispositivos familiares con regularidad para que las actualizaciones de software instalen automáticamente los parches de seguridad más recientes.

Regla 4: Proteja la información personal

Recuerde a los niños que nunca deben publicar sus nombres completos, direcciones de domicilio, números de teléfono o la ubicación de su escuela en juegos públicos o plataformas de redes sociales.
