Today is Safer Internet Day across Europe.
The Parents association would like to take the opportunity to remind our parent community of the Scoil Eoin Parent Pact, and share some other resources which may be useful.
Reminder:
Our Scoil Eoin Parent Pact is active, and available for parents to sign at any time, if they have not already done so. This is a voluntary, anonymous agreement to delay smartphone ownership until after graduation from primary school. Parent Pacts are widely recognised as one of the most effective collective actions we can take as a school community in the area of online safety.
