As everyone gears up for the new school year, we’re excited to see the big smiles and maybe a few “I’m not ready for this” frowns! And let’s be honest, we’re pretty sure the parents will be smiling!

Before you post those first-day photos, take a moment to think about what personal information you’re sharing online. Celebrate the moment but protect their privacy!

Think Twice Before Posting:

• Student ages or birthdates

• Teacher names

• School names

• Exact locations

• Other personal or identifying information

Share Safely:

Keep captions general, such as “First Day of School!” and avoid sharing details that could identify where your child goes to school or where they can be found.

Let’s celebrate the start of another great school year while doing our part to protect our children’s privacy and safety online.

Have a safe and happy school year!
