In today’s digital world, student conflict and safety concerns often surface on social media long before they reach campus. This boots-on-the-ground session, facilitated/presented by a high school associate principal, will provide administrators and staff with practical tips and tools for using social media as an early-intervention resource to support campus safety and student well-being.
Participants will learn strategies for monitoring and responding to social media trends, facilitating difficult but necessary conversations with students and parents, and increasing parent awareness of what students are posting online. The session will also highlight how proactive communication and mentorship can redirect students away from violence and help them understand the long-term impact their choices have on their future.
Through real-world examples and actionable practices, attendees will leave with tools they can immediately implement to help keep violence and off-campus issues from entering their schools—while strengthening relationships, accountability, and student growth.
