A Message from Principal Downey
Winchester Public Schools continues to make internet safety a priority. This school year, teachers have received additional training and are incorporating lessons on safe use of technology into their daily instruction at all levels.
If you're concerned about monitoring your child's use of technology at home, I encourage you to check out the Common Sense Media website to learn about parent controls and other topics related to keeping our kids safe online. Their website contains a wealth of important information for parents: https://www.commonsensemedia.org/
If you have questions about internet safety or if our staff can assist you as you navigate the challenges of parenting in the age of technology, don't hesitate to contact us.
Best,
Stephanie Downey
Principal
