News and Notes – February 7
Dear Parents and Guardians,
We hope this letter finds you well. We are writing to bring to your attention an important issue that has been affecting our Lake Avenue school community: an increase in cyberbullying incidents among our students.
As technology becomes an integral part of our children’s lives, it is crucial for us to ensure their online safety and well-being. We have noticed that some students are engaging in inappropriate conversations in group chats, which is impacting their well-being and the overall school environment.
To address this, we kindly ask for your support in the following ways:
-
Monitor Online Activity: Please be aware of what your children are accessing online. Regularly check their devices and online interactions to ensure they are engaging in safe and appropriate behavior.
-
Discuss Internet Safety: Have open conversations with your children about the importance of internet safety. Emphasize the need to protect personal information and to be cautious when interacting with others online.
-
Encourage Respectful Communication: Teach your children the importance of using appropriate language and being respectful in all online communications. Remind them that their words can have a significant impact on others.
We believe that by working together, we can create a safer and more positive online environment for our students. Thank you for your cooperation and support in this matter.
Sincerely,
Kelly McCrory, Principal ([email protected])
Wendy Tyrrell, Vice-Principal
