From artificial intelligence to social media, the digital world is changing fast. Canyons School District is helping parents keep pace — and keep their children safe.
Canyons is partnering with the Utah Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) to host three Parent Internet Safety Nights, offering families practical advice for navigating the opportunities and risks of an increasingly connected world.
The free, two-hour events will feature Michelle Busch-Upwall of Utah ICAC, who will share insights into online safety, emerging digital threats and steps parents can take to protect their children. The sessions will cover everything from managing screen time and establishing age-appropriate technology rules to understanding artificial intelligence and identifying apps parents should know about.
Due to the sensitive nature of the some of the topics discussed, the events are for adults only. Students younger than 17 will not be admitted.
Each evening will begin with an hourlong presentation by Busch-Upwall, followed by two breakout sessions covering separate topics.
Families can choose from three dates and locations. All events run from 6–8 p.m.
