“Monitoring Social Media”

As we continue to work together with our families in developing the whole child to the glory of God, below you will find several links which are available to assist parents in monitoring their children’s smart phones and social media accounts. Several of our own families have found these to be helpful. I trust you find these useful as well.
Go Raiders!
