The Thames Valley District School Board is offering tips and resources to help students, families, and school communities stay safe online as part of ‘Cyber Security Awareness Month’ throughout October.  

As part of this effort, teachers and schools within the Board will receive resources they can use in their classrooms to talk about cybersecurity.

“Cybersecurity threats represent a real danger for everyone in our board. That’s why we have resources available to help schools and our school communities stay safe,” said Bill Tucker, Director of Education of the Thames Valley District School Board.
