Public school employees are often targeted by phishing attacks because they have access to sensitive information, such as student records and financial data. Phishing emails can look like they are from legitimate sources, such as the school district, a vendor, or a government agency. However, the emails are actually from scammers who are trying to steal your personal information. Here are some tips on how to avoid phishing emails as a public school employee: Be suspicious of emails that you weren't expecting. If you receive an email from a company or organization that you do business with, but the email is asking for personal information that you didn't request, be suspicious. Don't click on links in emails. If you're not sure whether a link is legitimate, hover your mouse over the link to see the actual URL. If the URL doesn't match the website of the company that the email is supposedly from, don't click on it. Be wary of attachments in emails. If you're not sure whether an attachment is safe, don't open it. Contact the sender using another method besides email to see if they sent the attachment. Check the sender's email address. Phishing emails often come from addresses that look similar to the addresses of legitimate companies. However, if you look closely, you'll often be able to spot a difference. For example, the email address might be missing a letter or have a different domain name. Use a spam filter. A spam filter can help to block phishing emails from reaching your inbox. Be aware of the latest phishing scams. Phishing scammers are constantly coming up with new ways to trick people. Stay informed about the latest phishing scams by reading security blogs and articles. In addition to these general tips, there are a few specific things that public school employees can do to protect themselves from phishing attacks: Be aware of the types of information that scammers are typically targeting.

If you're not sure whether an email is legitimate, you can always ask a colleague or your IT department for help. By following these tips, you can help to protect yourself from phishing scams and keep your personal information safe. Here are some additional tips to help you avoid phishing emails as a public school employee: Use two-factor authentication (2FA) on your online accounts. 2FA adds an extra layer of security to your accounts by requiring you to enter a code from your phone in addition to your password when you log in.

The Seneca R-7 School District has developed a process to implement an Alternative Method of Instruction (AMI) plan to be utilized for up to 6 days (36 hours) when school is closed due to a health concern, inclement weather, flooding, exceptional emergency circumstances, or other natural disasters. The goal of the AMI plan is to embed learning activities focused on reinforcement of critical learning standards, enrichment activities, or support for further skill development. Consistent practice and exposure to skills without interruption is the most effective way to ensure student understanding and mastery of content knowledge. We will notify all parents/guardians, as we have in the past, via school outreach calls/text and social media postings in the event of school closures and use of AMI days.

If you haven't completed a Free or Reduced Lunch Application for the upcoming school year, please take a few minutes to do so. Forms are available in each school building and also on the district website. The information below is about the new Affordable Connectivity Program. Please use the link at the bottom of the announcement to learn more. Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP) As part of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the President and Congress created the ACP, which provides eligible households up to $30/month (or $75/month for households living on Tribal lands) toward their internet bills, as well as a one-time discount of up to $100 to purchase a laptop, desktop computer, or tablet. All households with a child who was approved to receive free or reduced price school meals under the National School Lunch Program or the School Breakfast Program, within the last 12 months, including children who attend schools participating in the Community Eligibility Provision, are eligible for ACP benefits. Households are also independently eligible if (1) their income is at or below 200 percent of the Federal Poverty Level ($55,500 for a family of four); or (2) a member of the household participates in certain other Federal benefit programs — including, among others, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), Medicaid, and Federal Public Housing Assistance. Families can check their eligibility, sign up, and find fully covered plans at GetInternet.gov or by calling 877-384-2575.
