Prodell Middle School eighth-grade students learned several important
tips for how to stay safe in cyberspace during a recent assembly program
hosted by Detective Daniel Fandrey of the Suffolk County Police
Department Computer Crimes Unit.
Organized by Prodell Principal Kevin Vann, the presentation helped to
reinforce the district’s ongoing efforts to promote middle school
students’ positive health and safety choices by encouraging definitive
strategies for a stronger social, emotional and mental health
foundation.
Detective Fandrey presented in an assembly format the division’s mission
to reduce cyber-related crimes and educate students on internet safety,
online bullying and appropriate use of photos across all social media
platforms.
According to Mr. Vann, the program was a fitting compliment to the
district’s robust efforts toward this topic and helped to reinforce to
students that in times of trouble help is always available from trusted
friends, adults and the school’s guidance counselors, social worker and
psychologist.
