How To Avoid Being Scammed.
over 2 years ago, Page County Public Schools
How to avoid being scammed. Take the time to think before you react. Many scams try to get you to act before you think. Never give anyone your username and password. Some scammers will try to trick you into giving them this information. Never tell anyone the code that was texted to you. Using a code to complete your login is great, but no one should be asking you to tell them the code. Never trust companies that contact you unexpectedly. If you are contacted by your bank, credit card, or someone else saying there is a problem, contact them using the number provided on their website or card. Do not click a link that you are not sure about. The link might claim to be something important, but it could be trying to steal your information.

School Board Meeting
School counselors make a difference in the lives of students, each and every day. In addition to helping students navigate their academic journey and prepare for a career, school counselors can help young people develop as a whole — personally, academically and professionally.

Historically, counselors began working in schools to provide vocational guidance to those joining the workforce. However, the term "guidance counselor" no longer encompasses the broad scope of work and duties provided by today's school counselors. The role of the school counselor has evolved to become a central and important part of a child’s development and educational career. PCPS is thankful for our School Counselors!

Is it a scam?
over 2 years ago, Page County Public Schools
Is it a scam? It seems too good to be true. You won a new iPad! Free three-night cruise! You just won a $1000 gift card! You were contacted unexpectedly. They call, text, or email you when you did not reach out to them. There is a sense of urgency. They say it is an emergency, or you must respond immediately. You are asked not to contact the person directly, or to keep it a secret. Scammers have a better chance of fooling you if you don't talk to anyone else. You are asked to give money in an unusual way. You are asked to pay with a gift card, iTunes card, or wire transfer. You are asked for your username, password, or pin. No one should be asking you for this information. You are asked to give a code that was texted to you. Using a code to complete your sign-in is great, but no one should be asking you to tell them this code.

Page County Public Schools encourages Digital Awareness. Follow us this week to learn more about what you should do to prevent yourself from being scammed or a victim of cyber attacks.

Steps to avoid cyber attacks Don’t give out personal information. Don’t give out phone numbers, social security information, or banking information to someone you don’t know. Confirm that people are who they say they are before trusting them. Use strong passwords. Create passwords with a combination of capital, and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Use different passwords for different sites, so that when someone gets one password, they don’t have them all. Passwords should be at least 8 characters. Avoid suspicious links. Be careful of websites, messages, or emails containing links. Some websites may use quizzes, surveys, freebies, or stories to get you to click on them and then steal your personal information. Check website reliability, Before purchasing anything on a website, ensure that it is safe. Check that it has a small lock icon or “https” before the URL. The “s” in “https” stands for ‘Secure’ and the lock means it is confirmed as a safe site by your browser. Also, make sure the company has a physical address and contact information. Keep your computer updated. Computer developers release updates to keep products safe. Keep your device software up to date so it is not vulnerable to malware. Be cautious with public Wi-Fi. Be careful when you use public Wi-Fi. Never share any personal information over public Wi-Fi: credit cards, banking info, social security numbers, etc.
