The Buffalo Public Schools provide students with one-to-one devices to engage in instruction. It is expected that students take care of their devices and use them for school purposes.
At the beginning of the year, students at Olmsted reviewed the Acceptable Use Policy in Social Studies classes. It is our expectation that students demonstrate digital citizenship by respecting their classmates and the work of others.
Digital citizenship extends to the community. To ensure students were aware of The Dangers of Social Media, presenters from the Missing Persons Clearinghouse (NYS Division of Criminal Justice Services), spoke to students in Grades 5-10. Their presentation covered a variety of topics related to safety online and what they should do when encountered with potentially dangerous situations. Please review the handouts provided for parents:

As always, we ask for your support in ensuring that students are appropriately using technology at home as well as in school. Your support is greatly appreciated as it helps keep our school community safe.
If your child is experiencing concerns with their BPS issued device, feel free to visit the Center for Innovation, Technology & Training at 1515 South Park Avenue.
If there are any questions and/or concerns, feel free to reach out at (716) 816-4330.
Educationally,
The Administrative Team
