Hillrise Huskies…Teamwork Makes the Dream Work!

Happy Friday Hillrise Families! I can’t wait for more weather like we had on Wednesday! It makes everyone more productive ! The Book Fair was a great success once again! We will be able to purchase more books for our library with the funds raised. Hillrise Elementary would like to thank Don Peterson aka "Book Fair Fairy" for his generous donation to the book fair. Two students from each homeroom were given an opportunity to choose a book from the fair. Our school benefits from a very supportive community with strong parent involvement. Because continuous improvement is a large part of our mission, we are seeking your input in order to help us ensure strong student achievement and a positive culture that enhances learning for all. Please take a few minutes prior to Monday, April 16, 2018 to follow the link and participate in our school climate survey. If you have any questions please feel free to contact the school. https://goo.gl/4fKf5k

Tech Tips for Building Newsletters – April 2018 Parental Controls Did you know you are able to limit your student’s access to websites, email contacts or even control the time of day and the duration in which they use the computer? By creating different user profiles and customized parental controls on your home computer you can help make sure your child is viewing age-appropriate content. Apps Parents Should Know—Snapchat and photo saving apps Snapchat is an app that allows users to send pictures, videos and short captions to friends 10 times faster than (mms) text messaging. The app allows the sender to determine when the message will expire (up to 10 seconds). Users have the option to send a “snap” to one person or a group of people. Once a message is viewed, it will disappear and cannot be retrieved again. However, the person receiving the ‘snap’ has the ability to take a screenshot of the photo and save it directly to their device. It is important to understand that even though a message may expire, there is no guarantee a photo will not be re-distributed by the receiver. Several new apps have been created to quickly save Snapchat photos before they expire. Apps like MirrorGo (Android), ScreenRecorder (iOS), and Snap Saver save photos and videos without notifying the sender. Bottom line—never assume a Snapchat picture or video is temporary or private. Elkhorn Public Schools Policy 507.13—Internet Safety Policy was written in compliance with the Children’s Internet Protection Act. Tech Savvy Parent tips are intended to inform and educate parents of technology that may be available to their students. Tips may feature apps that are educational as well as those that may be a cause for concern to parents.
