Digital Awareness For Students and Parents- IMPORTANT, PLEASE READ! Repost
We need your support in helping to positively support our students with understanding the impact of their words not only verbally when in person but when online and using social media. There are many resources to support families in this area. We realize that when on lockdown, many students utilized the online platform to maintain their friendships and connections with their friends and others. We ask all stakeholders to please take the time to read a related article and share this with your students.
