“I encourage teachers and parents to make sure students know of this creative opportunity to raise awareness with one another about cyberbullying and staying safe online,” Superintendent of Public Instruction James Lane said. “This is critically important given the amount of time students spend online for educational and social reasons.”
“This is a great opportunity to start educating students of all ages about the importance of staying safe online,” said
Virginia’s Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) Michael Watson. “Children are some of the most vulnerable targets on the internet and social media. The more they know, the better they can protect themselves when and if the need arises.”
The top five Virginia winners from each grade group will be entered into the national competition. Entries received may be used in national, regional and state cyber and computer security awareness campaigns. Entries are due by midnight Jan. 12, 2022.
