As we head
into summer, I wanted to share that, in response to a few inquiries about
parent resources for navigating the world of social media, Dr. DeRoche, Dir. of
Curriculum & Instructional Technology, has rebuilt our Parent
Resource page and updated it with helpful articles and websites for
parents. The resources on this page are
aligned to our K-12 curriculum initiatives and support a balanced approach to
technology. Additionally, we have added a parent resource
section to MERSD Weekly that will also include timely articles and tips on
social media and a wide range of student related issues.
