Social Media Safety
On May 20, 2013, the Kalispell Education Foundation and AAUW organized a forum at Kalispell Middle School to help parents with information and resources against cyberbullying on-line. A panel of local experts addressed questions and presented information for over two hours. We've kept a video link and links to other resources (plus panel listing) in addition to a parent social media contract to aid our parents in helping their children make responsible social media choices.
To help our district parents make wise choices in advising their children using a Facebook account, or other web based media, see:
