Thank you to Meigs Parent, Denise Alexander, for providing resources. And thank you Detective Michael Adkins for your presentation at our PTO meeting in April. It has inspired us to do more as a school to teach children their online reputation matters. And that screen time needs to be managed just like junk food. Look for more to come in the 2016-17 school year. YOUR ONLINE REPUTATION MATTERS
