Former Schuylerville School Resource Officer Zach Warriner led a presentation for 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders titled, “Internet Safety: Be Smart, Be Safe, and Rules to Follow Online.” In 2023, Warriner transitioned into a new role as a Missing Persons Investigative Specialist with the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services.
During his internet safety session Schuylerville students, Warriner covered a variety of crucial topics to help students stay safe while navigating the online world. The presentation included safety precautions for using social media platforms, the dangers of cyberbullying, understanding digital footprints, and what to do if a stranger attempts to reach out online.
“Navigating the digital world safely is an important skill to have,” said Schuylerville Elementary Principal, Stacy Marzullo. “By equipping our students with the knowledge and tools they need, making safe decisions when using the internet will hopefully result. We are grateful to Zach for taking the time to return to Schuylerville Elementary and share his expertise. His dedication to keeping children safe extends beyond his previous role as a School Resource Officer, and we look forward to future opportunities to collaborate with him.”
