 Over the weekend, I was able to read THIS great article that we ALL know about middle school students.  I am sharing it with the teachers too and wanted to pass it along to our families.  It truly shares some things you need to know!

WARNING!  WARNING!  DANGER!  DANGER!  PLEASE monitor your Viking's Social Media account!   We have MORE AND MORE students complaining that they are being harassed or bullied on social media (and many that are contributing to this sadly) and parents are COMPLETELY unaware.  PLEASE check your child's phone and take a look at THIS GREAT ARTICLE to see what you need to know!

We also found THIS GREAT ARTICLE that guides parents on responsible ways to have students search for information on the Internet.  Take a look!

Additionally, PLEASE take a moment to read this article. Do YOU know the 9 Social Media Red Flags that Parents Should Know About?  YOUR Vikings does.  Trust me. EVERY parent should know about and look for these listed within the article.

Have you already talked to them about "sexting"?  If not, here are some ideas on how to start...

Are you struggling with ways to support your Viking with math?  Need some ideas yourself?  Take a look at the 12 Great Math Apps for Students of All Ages to get some ideas and help!
