Please take a moment to click on the video link for a smile =) Then please share it with someone else to make their day. We had fun for the #greatkindnesschallenge on campus and plan to carry these feelings and actions on for the rest of our year!
Have you parents HEARD of this new popular AND potentially DANGEROUS app with access for ANYONE, including our kids? WeChat is a free texting, video and calling app that ENCOURAGES it's users to chat with strangers nearby OR around the world, at random. It is a VERY popular app created in China where you can post videos or images and, if security settings aren't changed, anyone using the app can access the users information they've shared. PLEASE be aware of this app and all of it's features! The video above can give more info on how to become knowledgeable of it and more!
And, oh, there's more. Have you heard or read about the updated version of Instagram? Did you know that the app is FREE because they can SELL the pictures and videos you post and because advertisers pay big money to have the attention of our kids? Did you know that the newest feature, Instagram Direct, is where ANYONE (including kids) can share ANY photo, get bullied, be a bully or anything else and it cannot be blocked completely? Wow. Social media is hard to stay on top of so take a minute to click THIS LINK to educate yourself!!
As we start the last semester of this school year, we want to remind all parents and students that this is a fresh start. Parents, please stay on top of your student by monitoring Parent Portal, downloading the "Grades" app, signing up for Remind texts from the teachers that use it, asking to be connected to Google Classroom and checking out teacher websites. Please ASK your Viking to show you what they are working on. Please, oh please, don't wait until May to see what they are missing or what their grades are. Need help with any of the tech tools we use? PLEASE reach out to our office at 707-646-7000, email your Viking's teacher directly, check out our website here, or email us!
