INTERNET SAFETY The Internet has become an integral part of our lives. We have access to information from around the world. However, along with the positive aspects of being online, we will encounter many dangers from malware, viruses, malicious sites, and obscene sites. Coalgate Public Schools has a webpage devoted to keeping staff, parents, and students up-to-date on the dangers of being online and how to avoid those dangers. The address for the Online Safety Site is https://coalgateschools.onlinesafetyhub.io We strongly suggest that all concerned visit this site regularly to stay updated on sites, games, chat rooms, etc. As an example, Coalgate Public School’s online filtering program has shown a rise in hits on Anime sites. Anime is hand-drawn or computer-generated images that originated in Japan. When Anime first appeared, the drawings and stories were appropriate for young children. However, we have noticed that many of these sites have an adult section buried in the pages. These adult drawings are easily accessible to any person who navigates these sites. Therefore, Coalgate Public Schools has blocked many of these sites. However, new ones continue to appear. Coalgate Public Schools strongly suggests parents/guardians monitor online usage with special attention to these Anime sites. Please spread the word about our Online Safety Site. Thank you David Unsell Technology Director Coalgate Public Schools

Congratulations, Coalgate Lady Cats!!! 2023 District Champs.
