In the age of AI and misinformation, Media Literacy is a superpower! 🦸‍♀️ Our students are constantly bombarded with information online—how can they tell what's real and what's fake?

Tip for Parents: Play the "Fact Check Detective" game! When you see a strange or unbelievable headline on your newsfeed, show your child how to:

Check the source: Is it a credible organization?

Look at the date: Is the information current?

Verify with a second source: Do other trusted sites report the same thing?

Help them develop their critical thinking skills so they don't accidentally spread misinformation! 🧐

Digital spaces should be safe and kind! This week, let's emphasize Digital Empathy. Mean comments, exclusion, or sharing rumors online is a form of cyberbullying and can be deeply hurtful. 💔

Tip for Parents: Encourage your child to be an "Upstander," not a bystander. If they see something unkind online, they should:

STOP engaging.

SAVE the evidence (screenshot).

SEEK HELP from a trusted adult.

Remind them of the Golden Rule: Treat others online the way you'd want to be treated in person.

Everything we post, share, or 'like' creates a permanent Digital Footprint! 👣 Did you know that what your child shares today could impact their college applications or job interviews years from now?

Tip for Parents: Have an honest chat about online privacy. Review privacy settings on their favorite apps together. Teach them to ask: "Is this post or photo something I'd want everyone to see, forever?" Remind them that not all information needs to be shared, and their personal details are valuable.

It's Digital Citizenship Week (October 20-24)! 📱💻 This is the perfect time to talk to your kids about being safe, respectful, and responsible online. Our first focus? Media Balance!

🤔 Ask your child: What's their favorite thing to do online, and what's their favorite thing to do offline?

Tip for Parents: Try a "Device-Free Dinner" tonight! Modeling a healthy balance between screen time and real-life connections is the #1 way to teach them this vital skill.

It's School Bus Safety Week, and we need your help keeping our students safe!

A child's most vulnerable moment is when they are getting on or off the school bus. Remember, the flashing red lights and extended stop arm mean traffic MUST STOP in both directions (unless there's a median or barrier).

Ignoring the stop arm is a serious risk and a significant violation. Let's make every bus ride a safe ride. Stop for the Stop Arm!

Here is a video created by the Nebraska State Patrol about School Bus Stop Arm Awareness.

School Bus Safety Week Reminder! The image features a yellow school bus centered between two black, stylized trees against a yellow and orange background. To the right is a large red stop sign with the word "STOP" in white. Below the bus, the text reads: "SLOW DOWN. PAY ATTENTION. STOP FOR THE STOP ARM."
Thank you to the Lightning Horse drum and everyone that attended the Cultural Enrichment Program. 💙💛

🧫🍎 Science gets creative! Mrs Garlejo's sophomore Biology class took learning to a whole new level by building cell models out of fruit and play dough! Students showed off their understanding of cell parts while getting hands-on (and a little messy) with their creations. 🧠✨ Who knew learning about cells could be this a-peel-ing? 🍇🍌
