Teachers and students, are you ready for an exciting opportunity to participate in the Safe Online Surfing (SOS), Internet Challenge?  The FBI-SOS Internet Challenge is an on-line educational program that teaches kids about internet safety, in a fun way, using interactive games.

While competing with other similar size schools, students in 3rd through 8th grade will learn to recognize online dangers and how to be safe cyber surfers.  Students will navigate games and scavenger hunts, which highlight safety tips and resources on topics such as cyberbullying, gaming safety, social networking, and online predators.  There are unique on-line activities for each grade level.  The challenge portion of the program will be the QUIZ (oh, come on, it will be a fun quiz) which allows your school to have some friendly competition with other schools.

The FBI-SOS is open to all public and private schools, and runs from October through May.  Schools with the highest score each month will receive the FBI-SOS national trophy, and a likely visit from a local FBI Special Agent.

Registration is easy and it’s free.  Teachers or administrators may go to the website to find more information and register your school.  No information on students is collected or stored by the FBI.  https://sos.fbi.gov
