📢 Attention, Parents! 🚨 We want to keep our children safe in the digital world, and your vigilance matters more than ever. 🧐📱 Lately, there have been a few concerning apps circulating that ask for personal information such as school details, schedules, and more. These apps claim to connect students within the same school but often lack proper filters to verify age or school enrollment. Your child's safety is our utmost priority, so we urge you to monitor the apps they download and use on their phones. Here are a few key points to keep in mind: 🔒 Personal Identifiers: If an app is asking for personal identifiers like age, school district, or schedules, be cautious. Legitimate school-related apps usually have official channels for communication. 📚 Verified School Apps: At Springtown ISD, we use trusted apps for various purposes: Remind: Teacher to student/parent communication Smore: Newsletters Skyward: Grades, attendance, and assignment monitoring Schoology: Online Learning Management System ❓ Have Questions? If your child claims they need to download an app for school purposes, don't hesitate to reach out to their teacher, principal, or our district admin office. We're here to clarify any doubts and ensure your child's safety online. Let's work together to create a secure digital environment for our students. Thank you for your continued support! 🌟👨‍👩‍👦‍👦🔐 #ChildSafety #StayInformed #PorcupineFamily

Go Center @ SHS! We're excited to announce the addition of the Go Center and a dedicated CCMR Counselor to Springtown High School. The Go Center is a cutting-edge resource hub, offering comprehensive guidance on post-secondary education and career paths. Mrs. Burtnett has moved over to the CCMR counselor position and will be able to focus on supporting students in college and career readiness. These valuable resources will empower our students to make informed decisions about their future and achieve their academic and professional goals. We're excited about the positive impact they'll have on our school community. 🖥️🔋🦔#PorcupineWay
