TMS CyberSafety

Trickum Middle School is dedicated to making sure students understand how to be CyberSmart when using the computer or cell phone. CyberSafety is a top priority for the technology department this year. From parental informative meetings to student discussions, we want to make sure that our school community is informed about this topic. Please feel free to use the handouts and links as you discuss this topic with your family. If we can be of further assistance, please feel free to contact Mr. Fincher our local school technology coordinator.

Out of the mouths of babes.......from one of our Trickum students:

The Internet

The internet is like the sky,

The possibilities never end.

There are no rules or boundaries,

Mysteries are just around the bend.

There’s EBay where you can buy

Something as worthless as a fry,

And email where you can send

Messages to a long lost friend.

It can be a horrible thing

That acts like a spider web

Pulling you in.

The possibilities never end.
