At Second Street Community School, we are committed to be a respectful,
joyful, and safe learning environment where we all strive to be our best.
March is Internet Safety Month
At school we regularly engage students in discussions about responsible and ethical online use of
technology. Our code of conduct and behavioral expectations also extend to the virtual world of the
internet. We invite you to work with us in spreading the message to your children about staying safe and
appropriate while using the internet and social media. Many students regularly bring electronic games, as
well as iPods, MP3 players and telephones to school. Recently we are experiencing ongoing issues with
cellphones that include texting, calling and taking photos/videos while at school. We would like to remind
all families that we request that students NOT bring any electronic equipment to school. If brought to
school, cell phones are not to be used during school hours.
We realize that students sometimes need their telephone to contact parents at the end of the day (not
during the school day). This is, of course, a safety consideration. There is a telephone available in the office
for student use with a telephone pass from their teacher. We thank you for your assistance and
cooperation with these issues.
Talk with your family.
When teaching your children about social media, please consider these questions:
What images might be ok to post? What might not? How will children deal with images that are
posted by friends? How can a family empower children with knowledge to make wise and safe
decisions?
Know the Facts.
Instagram (or Finstagram, Rinstagram) is an online mobile photo, video and social networking service that
allows public or private sharing on the app, as well as through other social networking platforms, such as
Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter and Flickr. Questions to think about:
How is using this connected to instant feedback?
What might be potential risks using this app?
Relationships are the most important factor in keeping communication lines open between yourself and
your child. Please continue to find time to have ongoing discussions about digitial citizenship and safe use
of techonolgy and social media with your child (it’s never too early). Click here for Tips on Internet Safety:
