The following websites can be used by parents and teachers to reinforce skills, to find information, or to have fun learning. These links will take you to a site outside the Center for Inquiry. These links are provided as an information resource only. A link to another website does not mean that CFI endorses all of the content found at that site. CFI has no control over linked sites and cannot guarantee or be held responsible for material such as advertisement or pop-ups, etc. found on any non-CFI website. We encourage parents to monitor their children during Internet usage.

Internet Safety

Safety first! These words are heard all over the CFI campus on a daily basis. While the Internet holds a vast amount of wonderful and helpful information, it is of the utmost importance that our students surf the web safely. These sites are meant to be a beginning to help parents and teachers teach and emphasize Internet safety. Safety first!
