RMS Families,
The Republic Middle School is excited to welcome cyber safety specialist, Jennifer Schiffman to our building to share her expertise with students, staff and parents. Ms. Schiffman was formerly a Prevention Specialist with the MO ICAC Task Force of the St. Charles County Cyber Crime Unit and now solely focuses on presenting to school districts regarding cyber safety through her company, DigiDiva.
Through her presentation, Ms. Schiffman will be educating students, staff and parents about digital basics, preventing cyber-bullying, the dangers of texting inappropriate pictures, and how students can protect themselves from online predators.
Ms. Schiffman has spoken to over 25,000 students in the southwest Missouri area, in addition to educating hundreds of parents about cyber-bullying prevention strategies. RMS is thrilled to provide this learning opportunity to students, staff and families as we believe this prevention knowledge is crucial to our students' education and safety.
Students will hear her presentation during the school day on October 19 while parents will have the opportunity to hear the adult presentation from 6:30-8:00 p.m. that evening in the RMS auditorium (enter through the auditorium entrance). Ms. Schiffman asks that students NOT be present for the parent presentation. To attend the parent presentation please register HERE.
Forms will be sent home with RMS students this week with the same information in this communication. If you do NOT want your child to attend the student presentation during the school day on October 19, please complete that form (another copy can be found
HERE) and return it to RMS prior to the 19th.
Only return the form if you do NOT want your child to participate.
Below is a parent letter Ms. Schiffman asked us to share with RMS families. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the counseling office at RMS. Thank you!
