Weekly Update
August 8th, 2023
This week we will be celebrating our Teachers and Staff for all they have done for our students this year and every year! Please take the time to send some thank you cards/notes/emails to teachers and staff.
Reminder our Monthly Celebration this month is the Red Fest. Same requirements for this month as every other month. Please check in with your students on their grades and missing assignments. As always encourage your students to keep their hands to themselves, be respectful and kind to their peers and teachers.
We will be talking about some Digital Safety things the last few weeks of school. With Summer quickly approaching, students might find themselves on a phone, gaming system or different form of electronics more than they were during the school year. This week, students participated in a lesson about online friendships. Several students reported that they talk to people online using video games and various apps. Students learned more about those "red flag feelings" that should alert them that they might be approaching an unsafe situation. I would encourage you to ask your student about what they talked about and continue the conversation about online safety at home.
As a parent and an educator, I use the Common Sense Media resources a lot. Here is the tab that talks specifically about on-line safety: https://www.commonsensemedia.org/articles/online-safety
