-ਕਲਾਸ ਵਿੱਚ ਚੈਟ ਗਰੁੱਪਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਨਾਂਹ: Students should never access social media platforms such as TikTok, Snap Chat, Discourse, Chat groups etc. during the school hours. Consequently, any inappropriate behavior/communication or posts will happen after school hours (from home!). School managements frequently deal with incidents of hurt and harm because of inappropriate online posts from the fake accounts. Families (parents) are asked to closely supervise their kids’ activities on their devices at home. The parents are also advised to limit or eliminate the use of social media platforms all-together, until children start demonstrating a level of maturity and responsibility to be safe digital users. As a result of few recent incidents of inappropriate posts on the social media, all parents are requested to report inappropriate posts on the social media platforms, including TikTok. Silence, no-action or ignorance will not help; rather such behavior will continue to create disturbance in the schools and harm for the communities.
-ਮੀਟਿੰਗ ਕੱਲ੍ਹ ਨੂੰ: Next parent council meeting in Castlemore Public School (Brampton’s ward 10) will take place tomorrow at 6.30 pm. Parents are invited to contribute their ideas and connect with the staff and other parents.
