We thank you for keeping your child at home until all signs of flu – vomiting, diarrhea, fever – have been gone for at least 24 hours. In classes where more than 10% of the students are away sick, our custodians go through an enhanced cleaning routine and disinfect surfaces that are prone to collect germs.

Parents Night Presentation
Social Media Awareness/Management
The parent presentation will focus on all things digital. Your child in Grades 1-7 has now
entered into their digital media lives, cell phone ownership doubles, video game use
explodes, and they dive into the world of social media and hypertexting. Your child is rapidly
developing his/her personal identity with cell phone in hand and you need to be prepared.
Family rules, parental controls and developing a family tech plan will be outlined as well as
recommendations for monitoring your teen’s digital life.
As a parent, you must lead the charge as a digital role model and help your child develop a
strong digital citizenship foundation while reminding them that their digital footprint is a
reflection of their real and online selves. At this age, they will encounter situations that will
challenge
their
independence,
including
cyberbullying
(and
more
commonly
–
cyberexclusion), the dangers of anonymity, privacy, sharing intimate images, and
inappropriate websites, and you need to be there to provide support and guidance during this
critical period. Finally, to better equip you for your digital parenting strategy, a snapshot of the
current trends and concerning apps will be provided.
