A Note From the Principal:


On Monday, October 19, St. Jude will welcome Emily Fagan-Zirm, Statewide Outreach Coordinator for the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor’s Office. She works with the Ohio Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force and will be speaking with all of our students in grades BG - 8 about important topics related to internet safety and online protection. The students will assemble with their grade bands for age-appropriate content.


This presentation is in compliance with CIPA (Children's Internet Protection Act) and supports our commitment to keeping students safe and informed in today’s digital world. It emphasizes digital citizenship education and to help students make safe, responsible choices when using the internet.


We appreciate your support as we continue to educate our students on making safe and responsible choices online. Thank you for your continued partnership in keeping our St. Jude students safe!



Godspeed,

Principal Molly Hibler
