Internet safety is a priority at John Read Middle School

Internet safety is a priority at John Read Middle School. We offer our students a filtered Internet environment, close supervision, as well as a strong policy regarding the acceptable use of the Internet. We urge parents to make Internet safety a priority at home by monitoring their child’s Internet activity, placing computers in a public part of the house, and using a filter. Below is a list of websites that can help you keep your child safe on the Internet.
