Cybersecurity Tips
At Heuvelton Central School we have a 1-to-1 technology environment where every student has access to a chromebook or computer. Many homes in the district also have internet access, and most cell phones now provide full internet access. With increasing technology use comes the need for greater awareness of cybersecurity issues.
Here are some general cybersecurity safety tips to use at home and at work:
- Never disable browser security for increasing functionality or ease of use.
- Avoid websites that want to install software that you didn't ask for.
- Avoid clicking on phishing emails.
- Avoid clicking on links that you're not sure you can trust/look suspicious.
- Avoid downloading apps, extensions, or items that aren't familiar to you.
- Use antivirus software, and enable security on your computer/laptop.
- Enable auto updates or routinely update your operating system and browser software.
- Always protect your usernames and secure passwords.
- Always be on guard when you interact with strangers online and avoid oversharing.
- Always be on the lookout for habits or actions that might place you and your information at risk.
- Control your internet security and privacy settings and check them regularly.
- Consider adjusting the security settings of your browser, such as blocking or limiting cookies.

Literacy Celebration
 
Students in Mrs. Fennessy's and Mrs. Cushing's third grade classes celebrated becoming narrative authors by sharing their problem stories with each other. Every student worked extremely hard at making sure their writing started with a hook, was told bit by bit, and used dialogue to bring their problem story to life. We ended this unit with a bang by popping confetti to celebrate our amazing third grade authors!
