Parenting in the age of phones and apps can be very challenging. Recently we have seen an uptick in our younger students engaging in inappropriate conversations on apps like Instagram and snapchat. Did you know that you have to be at least 13 to create an Instagram or Snapchat account? If you have any questions about if your child is mature enough to handle a social media account, please read the following articles: https://www.healthyyoungminds.com/is-snapchat-safe-for-kids/ https://www.commonsensemedia.org/articles/parents-ultimate-guide-to-instagram https://childmind.org/article/when-are-kids-ready-for-social-media/ https://www.commonsensemedia.org/articles/parents-ultimate-guide-to-snapchat#:~:text=You%20have%20to%20enter%20your,as%20quizzes%2C%20that%20collect%20data.

Gabriella Williams represented SCMS this past fall Flag Football Season with Mecklenburg Rec. She was the only representative for SCMS. The team went undefeated 10-0 all season and took home the county championships. She represented the school well and has grown tremendously as well as being properly guided and mentored by her coaches which are our local CMPD officers. Shoutout to Gabriella Williams! Great Job!
