Dear Parents,
We welcomed back our students with a ton of snow on our playground! Students who wore boots definitely did better being able to play and enjoy being outside. We didn’t count tardies for several minutes this morning as we knew it took some extra time to get to school today. Thanks for getting your children here; we’re happy to be back!
Digital Citizenship Tip
Technology is a powerful tool that affords many opportunities for growth, communication, and fun. It can also bring about tricky situations where kids may need support in making thoughtful decisions. Having open dialogue and developing a family media use agreement can help kids to preemptively think through important questions around tech use. A family media use agreement can be a powerful tool in developing a shared vision of how your family makes the most out of their use of technology.
