Hello Parents/Guardians!
Chances are your students already use social media. It is important for both parents and teachers to understand the potential issues and safety concerns that come along with it. That’s why Pearl River School District is proud to announce our new partnership with SmartSocial.com.
We want to help keep your family safe online and on social media. To keep your kids safe, we have partnered with SmartSocial.com, the leaders in online training videos and resources to help parents navigate the negative (and positive) parts of social media for their kids.
The District has purchased a number of Smart Social Memberships for parents. (Available on a first come first serve basis) This is a unique opportunity to learn from experts in the social media space - from the comfort of your home or office.
Author and SmartSocial.com Founder Josh Ochs has created a one-of-a-kind online program called Digital Driver’s Ed. The courses teach parents and students:
• The dangers of social media (including screen time addiction, online predators, mental health issues, and more)
• Tips for talking to kids about technology and setting smartphone guidelines
• Popular apps for students (including step-by-step instructions to turn on safety settings)
• How students can use social media to shine online (they’ll learn to create a positive digital footprint to help them get into college or land future jobs)
These short video courses appeal to both technology experts and parents who aren’t as tech savvy. Our school’s membership gives each family access to the Smart Social courses for free until June 30, 2020.
Please fill out this Google Form (https://tinyurl.com/PRsmartsocial) to receive the direct link to access your free membership.
Here are some of the courses you will be able to take:
• Dangers Every Parent Should Know Before Giving Their Student An iPhone
• How To Set Up Parental Controls On An iPhone
• TikTok, Snapchat, Instagram App Courses (For Parents)
• Mental Health Topics, Including Connecting with Friends in a Positive Way Online! (Parents and Students)
• And 10+ courses to make you a social media expert. Register today!
