District Superintendent Diane Perez District Administrative Office 2045 South San Jacinto Avenue San Jacinto, California 92583 (951) 929-7700 www.sanjacinto.k12.ca.us Board of Trustees John I. Norman, President Willie Hamilton, Clerk Deborah Rex, Board Member Jasmin Rubio, Board Member Rose Salgado, Board Member Assistant Superintendent Business Services Assistant Superintendent Personnel Services Matthew Hixson Assistant Superintendent Educational Services Sherry Smith Head Start/State Preschool Dear SJUSD Parents and Community Members, Most recently, students nationwide have been using a new social media app called Burnbook to post threatening messages they believe are anonymous. It has come to our attention that some SJUSD students are posting inappropriate content about our students or staff using this app, including messages of threats and harassment. I am asking for your assistance as we work together to ensure that all students are safe from unwanted harassment and observe appropriate use of technology both in our schools and community. To promote this message I ask that you: 1. Have a conversation with your child about the appropriate use of any social media especially in the area of postings, photographs, videos, and any other such transmissions. 2. Remind your son/daughter that posting a threat or obscene material is against the law and will be subject to discipline from the school district and law enforcement. Megan Cope Elementary De Anza Elementary Jose Antonio Estudillo Elementary Edward Hyatt Elementary Park Hill Elementary Clayton A. Record Jr. Elementary 3. Monitor your student's phone to ensure that there is nothing inappropriate on it that might be transmitted to another individual. For additional safeguards and monitoring tools please contact your local cell phone provider for details. SJUSD takes all threats against students, staff, and school district property seriously. The district encourages parents to be proactive as we work together to make our schools and our community as safe and responsible as possible.
