Many concerns we face day-to-day at school have started on social media and have carried over to school.

Things to consider:

• Please be sure to monitor your student's social media accounts.
• Be sure to check your student's privacy settings for their safety. Make sure your student actually knows the people that they are interacting with online (not just online friends).

Reminders for social media:

• Remind your students that they do not have to engage in inappropriate or unwanted conversations.
• Remind your student that they can block other users.
• Remind your student do report any concerns to you immediately.
