Canyons School District families can attend three free evening sessions on keeping kids safe online, starting Dec. 1 in Sandy.
Canyons District, which serves families in Cottonwood Heights and Holladay, is partnering with the Utah Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) to host Parent Internet Safety Nights, according to the district's website. Each two-hour session runs from 6 to 8 p.m. and is for adults only. Students younger than 17 will not be admitted because of the sensitive nature of some topics.
Michelle Busch-Upwall of Utah ICAC will lead the sessions. She will cover online safety, emerging digital threats and steps parents can take to protect their children. Topics include managing screen time, setting age-appropriate technology rules, understanding artificial intelligence and identifying apps parents should know about.
Each evening starts with an hourlong presentation by Busch-Upwall, followed by two breakout sessions on separate topics.
All events are free.
The three dates and locations are:
- Tuesday, Dec. 1: Mount Jordan Middle School, 9351 Mountaineer Lane, Sandy
- Wednesday, Feb. 3, 2027: Corner Canyon High School, 12943 S. 700 East, Draper
- Tuesday, April 20, 2027: Hillcrest High School, 7350 S. 900 East, Midvale
The district's posting does not mention whether registration is required. The April session at Hillcrest will be offered in both English and Spanish.
