October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month, a time to highlight the importance of safeguarding online activity from harmful cyber attacks. Each Friday this month, we'll share tips to help our students, staff, and families secure their sensitive data and stay safe online. Tip #4: Never leave your devices unattended, even for a short time. Always secure your laptop, tablet, phone, or flash drive so no one else can use it while you're away. And while you're at it, tidy up your desk to ensure no passwords, account details, or important files are sitting out openly exposed. You'll leave with peace of mind AND a clean workspace! We hope you've found these tips helpful. To learn more about Cybersecurity Awareness Month, visit www.cisa.gov/cybersecurity-awareness-month.

Third graders at North Jefferson Elementary have been building backbones - literally! Students created backbones out of lifesaver mints and gummies to represent the bone and cartilage of the spine. Then they let their imaginations run wild by designing their very own vertebrates, which they described using the knowledge and vocabulary from their CKLA unit on animal classifications. Beware the spitting pugcuilu! 😱
