State Trooper Brian Shelley to Speak with Students About Cybersafety


The Carlisle Middle School Counselors are excited to welcome Trooper Brian Shelley to our school over the next 3-4 weeks. During these weeks, Trooper Shelley will get a chance to speak with every 4th-8th grader about Online safety, Cybercrime, Cyberbullying, and other online issues that affect our teens and preteens.

The world is changing rapidly and not even I know all the ins and outs of the internet or internet safety. I talk a lot about the opportunities and dangers of the online world, especially cyberbullying, but I don't always know the latest information, tactics, and safety measures that are out there. Trooper Shelley spends a good portion of his time in schools doing presentations just like these and is great at educating our students about these areas. Due to his schedule and ours, he will only be able to come in once a week, but by January 6th, he will have seen all students once during our Guidance and life skills class.

For more information on what he presents, please visit the website I have listed below to learn about what information he covers and presents. He chooses the appropriate lessons and topics for the age he is talking to. So, what he goes over with 4th graders will likely be very different than the 8th grade presentation.
