Trailblazer Talk
October 25, 2023
We can not wait to celebrate Veteran's Day at Stewart Creek! If your Trailblazer has parents, grandparents, neighbors and/or friends that are veterans, please invite them to join us.
Pre-registration is available and encouraged. Use the link to pre-register and skip signing in at the front office. Please keep in mind the link will not be available after 12:00 p.m. on Tuesday, November 7th. This allows us time to print and organize visitor badges. All guests will need their i.d. on the day of the event.
IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM THE TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT
Dear Montgomery ISD parent,
Digital safety is critically important to Montgomery ISD, which is why we are now using Bark for Schools to help us protect students online while using school-issued technology and devices. Parents now have the option to sign up for a free account as part of Montgomery ISD’s partnership with Bark.
Bark monitors for signs of potential issues like:
- Cyberbullying
- Suicidal ideation
- Online predators
- Threats of violence
- And more
Alerts at the first signs of danger
When possible dangers arise on school-issued accounts, Bark for Schools sends us alerts so we can address the situation in a timely manner. These alerts also give us insights that help us promote the wellness of students.
Sign up to get alerts with Parent Portal
Students use their school-issued accounts both at school and at home, and families are often in a better position to respond to urgent alerts after hours, on weekends, and during breaks. To receive an invitation to create your optional free account for the Bark for Schools Parent Portal, please navigate to bit.ly/MISDbark and fill out the request form. As soon as you opt-in, you’ll be able to receive after-hours alerts if Bark detects potentially time-sensitive issues.
