PINE HOLLOW MIDDLE SCHOOL
Friday, February 8, 2019
Dear Parents,
In the last month, we've had a number of issues and conflicts that have been exacerbated by students posting negative messages and videos on various social media platforms. We've also seen an increase in students using fake accounts and hidden accounts to post negative things and avoid getting caught by police, school administrators, or parents.
Please take a moment to read a couple articles, talk to other parents, and speak with your child about these issues. Unfortunately, we are seeing that our kids need more counseling, more oversight, and more follow up so that they use these social media platforms positively and appropriately. Thank you for your support!
