FBI Cyber Awareness for Parents and Caregivers of School Age Children. This public service announcement is intended to raise awareness for parents and caregivers of school-age children about potential disruptions to schools and compromises of private information, as cyber actors exploit remote learning vulnerabilities. If you experience a cyber incident, we ask that you contact your school's assistant principal, so we can track and assist with reported incidents.
