Family Tip #4 (Elementary): Develop their instincts
Help kids trust their guts so they can exit iffy or inappropriate online conversations. Discuss different scenarios and ask how they would feel and what they would do.
1st graders in Mrs. Gray’s room were creating umbrellas to withstand wind. After each wind test, if their design was unsuccessful, students could make adjustments to their design before testing again. They were making connections between their design and the design of trees.
Family Tip #3 (Elementary): Help kids navigate online friendships
In the beginning, you might limit all communication with strangers online. As kids get older, you can monitor any online chatting. And once they're more independent, you can discuss which methods of communication are appropriate as well as which types of information to keep private from online-only friends.
Thank you to the family of Garry Fulk who visited Olympia South today to donate an AED machine in his name. We will use it in the school nurse’s office until the new gym construction is complete. Once the construction is complete the AED machine will be mounted there.
