Social Media/ Internet Safety

Social Media/ Internet Safety

If you have not heard, there is a challenge going around from YouTube that challenges kids to do horrific things.  The challenges start off small, and ultimate lead up to suicidal/homicidal challenges. Please monitor your child(s) internet/social media usage.  Technology is such a great thing, but can be used in so many negative ways.  We are asking ALL parents to make sure that you are actively involved in your child’s technology devices.  This means keeping track of the apps they are using, what they are sending or receiving from others and who they are talking to.  We all like to think that our kids would never say or do inappropriate things, but that is not realistic.  Also, TALK to your kids about what you expect when they are on their devices.  Remember that anything that has access to the internet can be used to access these applications.   Even if your kid does not have their own device, one of their friends might.  So please have these discussions with your student(s) on what you expect, what is acceptable and the dangers that are out there.
