Snapchat is a popular social media platform that advertises fun filters and “disappearing” messages. While it can be a fun way to connect with friends and family, the belief that messages and images disappear can lead to risky online behavior. Common Sense Media recommends this product for children ages 16+. Despite that recommendation, Snapchat is utilized by many users as young as children in elementary school.

Moore County Schools is committed to protecting students' online safety by implementing a multi-layered approach to digital security. One of the key tools in this effort is Gaggle a comprehensive monitoring system that helps safeguard students while they use school-issued devices. Gaggle actively scans emails, documents, and messages for signs of cyberbullying, inappropriate content, or harmful behavior, alerting school officials when necessary. This proactive system, along with other security measures, ensures that students can learn and explore in a safe online environment, while also teaching them to be responsible digital citizens.

This is limited to Moore County School devices, but with parent partnership, we can ensure you can protect your student when using personal devices. Look over a few helpful tips on using parent controls on your iPhone and Android devices.
