Wilson School District, in conjunction with i-SAFE America, Web Wise Kids, and NetsmartzKids is helping to raise awareness of the issues children face online and to provide proactive solutions. i-SAFE America is a non-profit organization dedicated to educating youth to safely and responsibly take control of their internet experience. Our goal is to provide awareness and knowledge to students to enable them to recognize and avoid dangerous, destructive, and unlawful online behavior, and to know how to respond appropriately.
