The digital world is constantly changing, and many of the apps our children use every day include features that allow them to connect with strangers, share their location, send disappearing messages, or access inappropriate content.
While many of these apps have legitimate uses, it's important for parents to understand the potential risks and have regular conversations with their children about staying safe online.
Take a few minutes to review our "Know the Apps" guide and ask your child:
• What apps are you using?
• Who are you talking to online?
• Do you know how to report or block someone?
• Are your privacy settings turned on?
💡 Remember:
• Keep devices in common areas when possible.
• Review privacy and location settings together.
• Talk about what to do if someone online makes them uncomfortable.
• Remind children to never share personal information, passwords, photos, or their location with someone they don't know.
• Keep the conversation open, supportive, and judgment-free so they'll come to you if something doesn't feel right.
Technology changes quickly, but staying involved is one of the best ways to keep our students safe.
🧡 Together, we can help our Mustangs make smart, safe choices both in and out of the classroom.
Note: Apps and online platforms change frequently. The presence of an app on this guide doesn't necessarily mean it's unsafe for every user, but it may include features that parents should be aware of. We encourage families to review apps together and use them responsibly.

A proud Clio High School alumna from the Class of 2018, Sydney is excited to return to her hometown and begin her teaching career at Clio Area Schools. She earned her K–8 Elementary Education degree with a specialization in English as a Second Language from Saginaw Valley State University and later completed her Master's Degree in Literacy through the American College of Education. Before joining Clio, Sydney spent the past three years teaching in Birch Run.
Sydney is passionate about creating engaging, student-centered learning experiences that meet the needs of every learner. She is especially excited to bring her Sustainability Fellowship from the University of Michigan to Clio, where her students will participate in Place-Based Learning that connects classroom learning to real-world experiences while making a positive impact on the local environment.
Outside the classroom, Sydney is an avid reader who enjoys realistic fiction and mystery novels. She loves spending time walking her dog, Lucy, golfing with her husband, crafting with friends and family, cheering on the Detroit Tigers, and supporting all things Michigan.
Please join us in welcoming Sydney Webb back home to Clio Area Schools! We are excited to have her enthusiasm, passion for literacy, and commitment to student success as part of the Clio Intermediate School team.
