September – Respect
This month, we are focusing on Respect — treating others the way we want to be treated. Families can practice by listening carefully, using kind words, and celebrating differences. Try asking your child: “What does respect look like at home, at school, or on the playground?”
At the end of the month, one student from each classroom will be recognized at our school assembly for demonstrating respect.
As part of Walteria's commitment to safe and effective digital learning, Torrance Unified School District asks all families to be familiar with our Acceptable Use Policy (AUP). This policy outlines how students are expected to use school technology responsibly—both to support academic success and to ensure a secure, respectful online environment. Here's what families should know:
Privileges: Access to TUSD Network / technology can be revoked if rules are broken. All use is monitored and subject to review by school staff.
-
Acceptable Use: Technology must be used for school-related activities only—no inappropriate content, use, or unauthorized software.
-
District Responsibilities: The District works to keep systems secure and reliable, but cannot guarantee full protection or accuracy of online information.
-
Web & Email Policies: Student work and photos may be shared online, but only with limited identification. School email is for academic use and monitored by staff.
-
Personal Responsibility: Students must report misuse, keep their login secure, avoid damaging or altering systems, and use technology in ways that are safe and respectful for all.
These guidelines help ensure a safe, productive learning environment for all students. For the entire AUP, please click here.
As we start the new school year, please remember the Say Something Anonymous Reporting System is available for students to share safety concerns anonymously. This tool helps protect individuals who may be at risk of harming themselves or others. Families and students can access the reporting system via our school website or directly at https://www.sandyhookpromise.org/say-something-tips
This is a great way to work together and keep our community safe!
