Digital Safety and Wellness
Dear Parents.
Did you know that you can control your child's iPad while they are at home? All the information and step by step directions can be found on our school website linked here: https://acacia.fullertonsd.org/parents/control-your-students-ipad-at-home. Each school has its own code, so if you have children at other schools, make sure you visit their website for that school as well.
We also have a digital wellness video on how to manage technology use at home on our website. It is located at the link below, or you can go to the website, click parents, then internet safety.
