Common Sense Media Blog
Help Kids Post, Comment, and Upload Responsibly. As tweens and teens start sharing content and engaging with others online, it’s important for them to understand the tracks they’re leaving behind and what those tracks might reveal. Parents can help guide kids toward creating the kind of footprint they can be proud of. Read all about it in this month’s blog at Common Sense Media.

Spring Break is done! No doubt we’ll have a rush of new student registration this week and can use your help in the Counseling Office, guiding new parents in filling out some paperwork and sending them home with other info flyers. Please take a look at the volunteer shifts on our APG Sign Up page; Tuesday, Thursday and Friday we are particularly in need. Thank you!
