FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL PHOTOS: THINK BEFORE YOU SHARE!

As the new school year kicks off, many parents capture those precious “first day” moments. But before you post that adorable photo, take a moment to think about what’s really being shared.

Back-to-school pics can unintentionally reveal personal info that puts your child at risk. Even with tight privacy settings, it's smart to limit what details go public.

🚫 What NOT to Share in Back-to-School Photos:
❌ School name or logo
❌ Age or birthday
❌ Teacher’s name or grade level
❌ Identifying features (height, weight, etc.)
❌ Personal details that could relate to passwords/security questions

Safety Tip:
If your child’s sign, backpack, or clothing includes sensitive info, blur it out or cover it up before posting. A little caution goes a long way in keeping your family safe.

Snap smart. Share safely. Let’s make this school year a safe and joyful one!
