📱 Know the Apps. Start the Conversation. Protect Our Mustangs. 🧡🖤

The digital world is constantly changing, and many of the apps our children use every day include features that allow them to connect with strangers, share their location, send disappearing messages, or access inappropriate content.

While many of these apps have legitimate uses, it's important for parents to understand the potential risks and have regular conversations with their children about staying safe online.

Take a few minutes to review our "Know the Apps" guide and ask your child:
•  What apps are you using?
• Who are you talking to online?
• Do you know how to report or block someone?
• Are your privacy settings turned on?

💡 Remember:
• Keep devices in common areas when possible.
• Review privacy and location settings together.
• Talk about what to do if someone online makes them uncomfortable.
• Remind children to never share personal information, passwords, photos, or their location with someone they don't know.
• Keep the conversation open, supportive, and judgment-free so they'll come to you if something doesn't feel right.

Technology changes quickly, but staying involved is one of the best ways to keep our students safe.

🧡 Together, we can help our Mustangs make smart, safe choices both in and out of the classroom.

Note: Apps and online platforms change frequently. The presence of an app on this guide doesn't necessarily mean it's unsafe for every user, but it may include features that parents should be aware of. We encourage families to review apps together and use them responsibly.

Last Wednesday, Clio Community High School celebrated student success in a fun and memorable way with our “Pie the Principal” event!

Students who completed a 0.25 credit Edgenuity course between April 20 and May 1, an impressive accomplishment in just 10 school days, earned the chance to participate. More than 25 students rose to the challenge!

With plates of whipped cream (and some creative toppings), students got to take their shot at Mr. McCallum, bringing lots of laughs and energy to the day. A well-earned celebration of hard work and dedication!
