Keeping students safe online is a team effort between school and home.

📧 Talk with students about only opening emails from people they know and never sharing passwords or personal information.
📱 Remind students not to respond to unknown texts or click on unfamiliar links.
📸 Encourage open communication about social media—who they follow, what they post, and how it makes them feel. Keep accounts private and think before posting.
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Regular conversations help students make safe and responsible digital choices.

🔐📱 Seguridad Digital en Casa

Mantener a los estudiantes seguros en línea es un esfuerzo en equipo entre la escuela y el hogar.

📧 Hable con los estudiantes sobre abrir solo correos electrónicos de personas conocidas y nunca compartir contraseñas o información personal.
📱 Recuérdeles que no respondan a mensajes de texto desconocidos ni hagan clic en enlaces sospechosos.
📸 Fomente la comunicación abierta sobre las redes sociales—con quién interactúan, lo que publican y cómo se sienten. Mantenga las cuentas privadas y piense antes de publicar.
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Las conversaciones constantes ayudan a los estudiantes a tomar decisiones digitales seguras y responsables.

Students grow so quickly—sometimes they outgrow a coat before they even have a chance to wear it! If you have any new or gently used coats, please consider donating them to our Winter Coat Drive. Your donation can help keep another student warm this season. 🧣💜

¡Los estudiantes crecen tan rápido! A veces dejan de usar un abrigo antes de tener la oportunidad de estrenarlo. Si tiene abrigos nuevos o en buen estado, considere donarlos a nuestra Colecta de Abrigos de Invierno. Su donación puede ayudar a mantener a otro estudiante abrigado esta temporada. 🧣💜

This is our first amazing student (and soon there will be many more!) at Roy Johnson STEM Academy to cash in their PAWS Passes for PAWSitive Movie Day on February 12th! 🎉👏
