It has come to our attention that some of our Gr 6 – 8 students have been using a website called ask.fm. Ask.fm is a social networking website that is extremely popular in Europe, with about 65 million users, mostly children and young teens. This site allows anyone to post anonymous comments and ask questions. Ask.fm is increasingly being used as a means to communicate and post inappropriate content. We have spoken to the students about internet safety and have reviewed our on-line code of conduct. We have also involved our Community Policing Officer, Officer Rich, who will be speaking to the classes about Internet Safety. Please continue to work with us to keep the students safe by monitoring their Internet activity. If you have concerns or would like to discuss this further, please contact the office.
