Message f r om t he pr incipalWelcome to the last few weeks of school and a ver y exci ting time for al l grade levels. The year culminates in what are and w i l l be class tr adi tions. The sixth grade embarks on i ts annual Manners Field Tr ip to Durango where they have a formal f inish to their year of tr ansi tion into middle school. Seventh graders have been reading Dow nr iver by author Wil l Hobbs and w i l l connect the book?s themes of self-r ef lection and overcoming challenges in l i fe to a f inal ending ?challenge? on a r aft tr ip. Eighth graders complete their middle school years and celebrate w ith a Continuation Ceremony, dance, and a tr ip to Pagosa Spr ings.
I have spoken w ith students throughout the year about ?coming together ,? and these f inal weeks and events are ful l of these oppor tuni ties. Just l ike the ski tr ips and Epic Days ear l ier this term, we continue to help students encourage each other , work together , and challenge self and others. These are not just activi ties for fun but extend cur r icular and social emotional needs. I t is a tr ue pleasure to watch the proud and smil ing faces of Bayfield Middle School students as they gain a sense of accomplishment.
Have a great week.

Lenhart, Amanda. Teens, Smartphones & Texting. Pew Internet & American Life Project, March 19, 2012.
PArenTSGuideto S m a r T p h o N e Safet ySmartphones are essentially little computers, so you might be a little worried when handing one over to your child. Take some time to understand the risks and implement a few safeguards so that you can help your child use smartphones safely.
1. Be a parent and a resource. establish clear guidelines, including time limits and consequences for inappropriate behavior, but be open so your child will come to you with any problems.
2. Set up password protection. This will keep everyone but you and your child from accessing personal information stored on the phone.
3. Update the operating system. new versions often contain important security fixes.
4. approve apps before they are downloaded. Make sure you understand their capabilities and approve their content.
5. Understand location services. GPS features are useful when using maps, but you’ll want to disable location-tagging when your child posts anything online.
The riSkS
▪ CyBerBUllyiNg With the constant connectivity of
smartphones, your child may be more susceptible to cyberbullying or have more opportunities to cyberbully others.
▪ geoloCaTioN A GPS-enabled smartphone can reveal
your child’s location through online posts and uploaded photos.
▪ iNappropriaTe CoNTeNT With smartphones, your child has mobile
access to content you may consider inappropriate, such as pornography or violent videos.
▪ SexTiNg Your child may use the Internet and
social apps to send, receive, or forward revealing photos.
▪ VirUSeS & malware Just like a computer, a smartphone is
vulnerable to security attacks if your child accesses unsecured websites and apps.

Adults sometimes freak out about social networking sites because they’re constantly hearing stories about predators and privacy. You’re probably there just to socialize with your friends, talk to people with similar interests, and share what’s going on in your life. But plenty of teens have gotten into trouble on these sites by posting inappropriate pictures and comments, and meeting people in person they know nothing about except what's online.
Check, check, check! The most important thing you can do to protect yourself on these sites is to check your profile for anything too risky to post.
Sometimes looking through your entire profile can be annoying, especially with all of those privacy settings. Use this guide and check off each section when you’re finished. That way, you won’t miss anything.

So, how can I be safer?
What do I look for?
Yes, I’m on a social

What’s the big deal?
Positive Things You Can Do On Social
