Administrators at Valley Middle School in House Springs are teaching 6th graders a new class on the internet safety. The district is doing this partly because when students leave middle school, they will be issued laptops. Teachers want to make sure students know how to be smart and safe when they’re online. “When I get online and I see something that might be a hacker, I just do the things I learned in this class to not do it so I don’t get hacked at all,” Destiny Clary, a 6th grader, said. “If its got an update to your computer, don’t do it, ask your parents, let them do it,” she continued. Along with online safety, students are also learning about how to use online tools, such as customizing Google pages or building websites.
