This week, we celebrated Staff Appreciation! We would like to thank our staff for going above and beyond to support our students and families! Thank you! #bluejeyprideD93 

This week, Detective Rich Wistocki of Be Sure Consulting Inc. spoke with our 3rd through 5th and middle school students about the real risks of social media and online strangers. With years of experience in Child Cyber Crimes, Det. Wistocki shared powerful tips on staying safe online, recognizing danger, and speaking up.
The night before, during our Parent University event, Det. Wistocki joined as a guest presenter to speak with parents about the same issues—offering insight into online trends, apps, and how to support children in navigating online risks safely.
Det. Wistocki’s message was clear: No one has the right to make you feel uncomfortable or unsafe online. Students walked away with practical tools, confidence, and a reminder that trusted adults—like parents/guardians—are always there to help.
Thank you, Det. Wistocki, for empowering our community!
