CyberPatriot Program Contest Extended Until November 15th! Due to an overwhelming response from Arkansas teachers preparing their students for CyberPatriot certification, the quiz system experienced a high volume of users, temporarily preventing access for some. We’re happy to announce that testing will resume on November 1st, and to accommodate everyone, we’ve extended the contest deadline to November 15th. This gives you extra time to participate and ensure you are entered into the contest. Miss the deadline? Don’t worry—students can still pursue CyberPatriot certification after the contest ends, as the program will continue beyond this date.

October is Cybersecurity Awareness Month! Throughout the month, we will be sharing (no tricks, promise!) important tips, best practices, and updates to help you stay safe online. Let’s work together to boost our cybersecurity awareness and keep our digital world secure! Tip #1: Scammers love helpful people especially with cash back scams on apps like Venmo, Zelle, or PayPal. Instead of handling requests like these notify Customer Support and let them handle the situation for you. #Fraud #WireFraud #Scams #P2P #Payments

Last night, Julie Duncan and Heather Everett hosted a meeting to kickoff NAESC’s designation as the local lead organization for Fulton, Izard, Sharp, and Stone Counties. Early childcare providers from all four counties came together to learn more about local lead organizations and provided valuable feedback on how NAESC can support them. Early childcare providers play an important role in preparing our children for school and life. NAESC is looking forward to supporting them for the betterment of the children of Northcentral Arkansas.
