No Cell Phones
Cell phones are a major distraction to learning. We will collect phones a tthe beginning of class and lock them up during the school day. If a student arrives late, they must turn it in and the phone will be locked up with the others. If a parent or guardian needs to talk with their student, please call the office 970-348-1000, and we will have them call you back.
Social Media (Snapchat, Instagram, FB, and other platforms) Safety:
-
Do not share your password with anyone else (except your parents/guardians)
- Never give out personal information about yourself (including, but not limted to: your name, address, phone number, age, name of your school, names of family members, and any other identifying information). This includes pictures!
- Adjust yor privacy settings so only your "friends/family" see your information.
- Do not exchange texts, emails, instant messages, or become "friends" with anyone you do not know.
- Do not share or post times when you are home alone or on vacation.
- Do not allow anyone to use your phone and/or school computer with you supervising everything they are doing. Remember, your name/number is associated with what they are looking up, searching, and posting!
- Remember that once something is posted into cyberspace, it cannot be erased or permanently deleted. Someone can always find and recover it.
- Texts, pictures, emails, chats, blogs, and isntant messages can all be forwarded and pritned out. Be very careful what you type or send to someone else!
- Tell a trusted adult if you are being cyberbullied, stalked, or feel "targeted."
Go Guardian
The school district has a program to monitor student computer use. If the student signs into their Google School Account, Go Guardian is activated and monitors content. If a student is on their cell phone or school computer and logged into the district server, they are being monitored.
