Help Keep Your Child Safe Online: Privacy & Security Tips

Dear Parents/Guardians,

As students spend more time online for school, entertainment, gaming, and social media, it is important for families to talk about digital privacy and safety. This family resource from Common Sense Education provides four practical ways parents and caregivers can help tweens and teens protect their personal information and better understand their digital footprint.

Families are encouraged to review privacy settings together, read and discuss app privacy policies, talk about online scams, clickbait, and suspicious offers, and explore how technology companies collect data and make money. These conversations can help students become more thoughtful, informed, and responsible digital citizens.

We encourage JBMS families to review the attached tips together and continue the conversation at home about staying safe, protecting personal information, and making responsible choices online.

Thank you.
