Emily Miller keeps raising the bar for GW. This past weekend, she won gold in the U.S. Figure Skating Excel Novice Ladies Free Skate in Nashville, finishing ahead of skaters from across the country. Last season, she competed at the U.S. Olympic Training Center and placed 11th in the nation at the Novice level. Next stop: the University of Colorado, where she’ll continue her skating career at the collegiate level. #HailGW | #patriotpride | #lifeonthehill | #FigureSkating | #StudentAthlete

This school year, students in grades 3–12 will take part in an online safety lesson during the school day.

This comes from a West Virginia law (SB 466) passed in 2024, which requires all schools to provide this type of instruction and to use a state-approved platform. For our students, that platform is CyberSWAT/SKYLL.

The lessons are designed to help students better understand situations they may face online:

🔹 Protect their personal information
🔹 Recognize unsafe situations online
🔹 Avoid scams and manipulation
🔹Know when to reach out to a trusted adult
🔹Students will move through interactive, scenario-based experiences, referred to as stories.

Grades 3–5: Realm Quest
Grades 6–12: Miss Informed

We do want families to be aware that some of the situations presented in these lessons are more serious in nature and may introduce topics that you may prefer to approach in your own way or on your own timeline.

Because of that, we encourage families to review the materials ahead of time.

You can see what topics will be covered in the course and read a breakdown of each story in the parent guide,
https://wveis.k12.wv.us/cyberswat

While this instruction is required under state law, families do have the option to choose an alternative lesson for their child. The opt out form is available in the parent guide.

A screenshot of the online safety course that West Virginia students must take. The course is set up as a game that allows students to make choices based on certain events. In this picture, the teacher in the game says, "It is when someone makes a fake message that looks real to trick you into giving up personal information." Below that quote block is two responses for students to pick from. The first says, "So the secret server was bait?" and the second says, " That's so sneaky. It looked totally real!"
