Upton Parents,

THANK YOU!
A very special thank you to Berrien County Prosecutor, Steve Pierangeli and Alli Kibler-Campbell, a Child Abuse Prevention and Outreach Specialist for the Children’s Advocacy Center of Southwest Michigan. Both speakers came to SJHS last week to inform parents about the dangers of social media and online predators.
Their message was very clear: Talk with your children and learn what they are doing online.
For the next few weeks we will send you important information from that presentation to keep your children safe online.
Lesson #1
START A CONVERSATION
Ask your children:
What’s your favorite website? What do you like to do there?
Have you ever seen something online you didn’t want to see?
Do you ever talk to people you don’t know online? What do you talk about?
Important Websites to know:
Upton Joe Bots-
The Joe Bots team had our second qualifier of this season at Coloma today and our teams made HISTORY!!! All 3 Joe Bots teams are going to the State Championship in Battle Creek on Dec 17-18.
-- 8513 Maize: Ranked 6th. Design Award Winner. Motivate Award 2nd Place. Qualified to State already.
-- 11855 Blue: Ranked 9th. Advancing to State.
-- 13702 White: Ranked 7th. Advancing to State.
The Joe Bots continue to demonstrate gracious professionalism on and off the field by cheering for every team; helping and encouraging each other and having fun. We also want to point out how great it is to see so many Average Joes volunteers at Coloma today. They made us so proud to be part of the St Joe School District.
