Increased Conflicts Among Students
February 9, 2024
Dear Tomahawk Families,
We're reaching out to inform you about a rise in conflicts among students stemming from social media, texting, and other digital communications. It's crucial we address these issues promptly to ensure a safe and respectful environment for all.
Here are a few tips that you may find helpful in guiding your child's online behavior:
- Encourage them to think before they post or send messages online. Remind them that once something is shared online, it can be difficult to erase or take back.
- Emphasize the importance of treating others with kindness and respect, even in virtual spaces. Encourage them to consider how their words and actions may impact others.
- Remind them to avoid engaging in or perpetuating online drama or conflicts. Encourage them to seek help from a trusted adult if they experience or witness any form of cyberbullying or online harassment.
- Set clear guidelines and boundaries for your child's cell phone and internet use. Monitor their online activity and be proactive in addressing any concerns or issues that may arise.
By working together, we can help our students develop the skills and knowledge they need to navigate the digital world responsibly and respectfully. We appreciate your support and cooperation in this matter.
If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you for your attention and continued support.
In Partnership,
Dr. Ematrudo
