Key takeaways to support students include:

• Discuss topics that are appropriate to share online and at school.

• Check conversations on platforms such as Roblox or group chats periodically.

• Students may be held accountable if they share inappropriate content even if they are not the original poster.

• Families should utilize apps such as mmguardian, Bark phone, and Family Link to limit and monitor children’s online access.

• Officers emphasized their willingness to support families if you need a resource to discuss sensitive subjects.
