A message about social media....
Over the last couple of weeks, there has been an increase in negative incidents happening over social media, text messages, and or Facetime. The majority of these incidents have been taking place outside of the school day and at home on students' personal devices. I think we can all agree that students are probably doing more on their personal devices than what we know. I found this article that I wanted to share to help bring awareness to our community and parents/guardians. I hope this helps.
