The speed of digital media is changing fast! Artificial Intelligence can now create incredibly realistic videos and audio (known as "deepfakes"). This makes teaching our children to think critically about everything they see and hear online more important than ever.
For amazing, trusted resources to help guide these conversations with your child, check out the free guides and articles available from Common Sense Media.
Let's partner to raise digitally savvy and safe students!

Picture Retakes Tomorrow!!
If your student was absent on the original picture day (or is new to our school), please make sure they have their photo made!
If you would like to purchase the photo, please fill out and return the attached order form with cash or check or click the following link to pay online with a credit card (please note online ordering closes at midnight prior to picture day): http://prepayorders.com/school/bgs13381
Also, if you were unhappy with the photo from the original picture day and would like to try again, your student will need to bring their picture package or proof sheet from the original picture day. They will give their picture package or proof sheet to the photographer for verification of who needs to be photographed and what they ordered.
Please note that if you purchased a package on the original picture day, the same package will be reprinted using the new image from make-up picture day.
