Hey parents!
We started our review on body safety and cybersafety today for a couple classes. During the course of conversation, several students mentioned spending time on TikTok, SnapChat, and other networking apps/sites, as well as having talked to or sending pictures of themselves to a stranger online. Did you know that TikTok and SnapChat are the number one apps that predators use to solicit minors?
So just a friendly reminder to please abide by social networking age limits (TikTok - teen users, SnapChat - teen users ), monitor your child's technology use, set parental controls, and have conversations with your children about safe/unsafe behavior online.
Our Trojan middle school volleyball is now 11-1, and 9-0 in the league!!! Tonight was our 8th grade recognition night. We are so proud of these 8th grade girls and their hard work this year!
