Our vision is to be a Healthy and Literate Community!
Technology and misuses
There has been a lot of talk about Momo. The way i have heard it, is that a scary image pops up in the middle of games and other apps etc.. The Momo thing appears to be a hoax. Although it is causing hysteria and could give folks ideas.
There have been several other on line issues this week. I am working on a response to this in two ways.
1. general information to parents about on line bullying and inappropriate apps etc..
2. A night of technology for parents.
I will not address apps or you tube by name but general information about on line safety.
For more information

We will launch the parent survey during conference week with a goal of 75% response rate from our families. I will provide a hand-out about the survey for you to give to each parent. The computer lab will also be open during parent-teacher conferences to ensure parents have access to a computer if they need one. I will have access to the hand-out on Monday, 3/4. I will print and place them in your boxes by Wednesday, 3/6 so you are all set for conference week.
I am still working on dates for the student (grades 3-5) and staff survey.
