At the December 14, 2010, Fremont School Board meeting, the final reading of the new bullying policy occurred. The board unanimously adopted this policy, which by law must be done by each school district in New Hampshire prior to January 1, 2011. In drafting the new Bully policy, all facets of the law have been addressed. This policy is posted on the school district web page. I would encourage you to review it and if you have any questions, please contact me.

Cyber Safety

The ever increasing social networking that is taking place among our children presents routine concerns for parents about their safety. Who can gain access to the sites that they frequent and how can we safe guard against people gaining this access? Has your child been the victim of cyberbullying?

Last week, I received a document entitled "Net Cetera: Chatting with Kids About Being Online". This document has been written for parents, providing information to help assure that children have safe experiences when on-line or when they are using cell phones. If anyone would like a copy of this, please let me know and I will make it available to you.

Yours,
Bill Lander
