Digital Safety
Technology is everywhere! Our students have more accessibility to the world than ever before. Spending time on social media has become almost a way of life for much of our population. But what is the right age for kids to access social media? Check out the attached image to see the minimum age requirements for specific social media apps.

Oversharing & Your Digital Footprint: Real kids talking about sharing online
Core Essentials Values Character Traits
Character education is one of the ways we serve our students at Rennell. Each month we present a Core Essentials Value. These values point back to one of the Big 3 Ideas: Treat Others Right, Make Smart Decisions, and Maximize Your Potential.
SELF CONTROL is the character trait we will focus on in January. Students will discuss what having SELF CONTROL looks like, when we need it the most, and why it is important to use in our everyday lives.
Need Student Info from the Teacher?
We need to have a Release of Information to give any outside agency information on your student. This includes doctors, tutoring facilities, activity programs, and any other place that wanting to discuss behavior, counseling services or academics. The Release of Confidential Information must be completed prior to completing any paperwork.
Watch DOGS Information
There are a few spots left for the school year. If you are interested to volunteer for the Watch DOG program, please sign up on the Sign Up Genius (linked here).
A few reminder for your Watch Dog Day:
1. The hours are from 8:10-3:30. You will start the day helping with car rider duty.
2. You will get a break before lunch to run out if you choose.
3. You may order a shirt if you want to have your own (store link here), but we also have shirts to borrow for the day.
