๐ข Attention, Parents! ๐จ
We want to keep our children safe in the digital world, and your vigilance matters more than ever. ๐ง๐ฑ
Lately, there have been a few concerning apps circulating that ask for personal information such as school details, schedules, and more. These apps claim to connect students within the same school but often lack proper filters to verify age or school enrollment. Your child's safety is our utmost priority, so we urge you to monitor the apps they download and use on their phones.
Here are a few key points to keep in mind:
๐ Personal Identifiers: If an app is asking for personal identifiers like age, school district, or schedules, be cautious. Legitimate school-related apps usually have official channels for communication.
๐ Verified School Apps: At Springtown ISD, we use trusted apps for various purposes:
Remind: Teacher to student/parent communication
Smore: Newsletters
Skyward: Grades, attendance, and assignment monitoring
Schoology: Online Learning Management System
โ Have Questions? If your child claims they need to download an app for school purposes, don't hesitate to reach out to their teacher, principal, or our district admin office. We're here to clarify any doubts and ensure your child's safety online.
Let's work together to create a secure digital environment for our students. Thank you for your continued support! ๐๐จโ๐ฉโ๐ฆโ๐ฆ๐

Go Center @ SHS!
We're excited to announce the addition of the Go Center and a dedicated CCMR Counselor to Springtown High School. The Go Center is a cutting-edge resource hub, offering comprehensive guidance on post-secondary education and career paths. Mrs. Burtnett has moved over to the CCMR counselor position and will be able to focus on supporting students in college and career readiness. These valuable resources will empower our students to make informed decisions about their future and achieve their academic and professional goals. We're excited about the positive impact they'll have on our school community. ๐ฅ๏ธ๐๐ฆ#PorcupineWay

We wanted to take a moment to recognize an incredible person in our Porcupine Family. Kyle Sivadon, better known as Coach Siv, went above and beyond to support one of our students and their dreams of competing at Nationals. He generously paid for flights, with earned points, allowing Ms. Brouhard and her talented student, Dannaray Strange, to travel out of state and compete at TAFE Nationals! ๐ซ๐
His selflessness is truly inspiring. Coach Siv, your commitment to our students and the pursuit of their passions is commendable. You're making a lasting impact on their lives, and we are grateful for everything you do. #PorcupineWay #PorcupineFamily
