Safety Tip: Anonymous social media posts
It’s important to understand that when posts are made anonymously, our school does not have the tools to track the posts to their source (we also do not have the ability to take any social media posts down). In these situations, we encourage families to report the post to school administration for our awareness, share the post directly with the platform on which it was posted (Facebook, Instagram, etc.), and request that the platform have the post removed. Any information gathered about the source of the post from the platform during the process of reporting it could be shared with school administration as well for our investigative purposes. Again, if the post contains a threat of any kind, please submit a tip through P3 Tips (Link bookmarked on all student Chromebooks as well).
Also, we encourage students not to comment or respond to anonymous posts/texts for their safety.

Free Heart Screening for Youth (Feb 25)
Eric Paredes Save a Life Foundation offers free heart screening (an echocardiogram, EKG/ECG) to youth ages 12-25. This screening is not part of a regular pre-participation exam or physical and can detect heart conditions that go unrecognized in physicals. Eric Paredes' Save a Life Foundation's screenings could be potentially life saving, as sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is one of the leading causes of death in sport.
The next screening is this Sunday, February 25 at Steele Canyon High School from 9:30-2:30pm. If you are interested in a free screening please use the "Screen Your Teen" link above to register.
