Tech Tips for Families: Moving to Secondary School—Online Safety Guide
Transitioning to secondary school brings big digital changes—new apps, smartphones, and social dynamics. Internet Matters’ “Moving to Secondary School: Online Safety Guide” helps parents support kids as they navigate this next chapter:
Understand what kids are doing online—socializing, expressing themselves, and wanting to fit in with peers.
Prepare for real challenges—the pressure to respond to messages instantly and share photos or content.
Keep communication open—regularly check in with your child about what’s happening online and how they feel.
Establish shared rules—agree on device use, location-sharing, app permissions, and what’s okay to post.
Work together with the school—talk to teachers, know school policies, and stay on the same page about safety.

COME TO SECOND HARVEST ON WEDNESDAY 10/22/25
Cooler temperatures have us thinking of sitting around a fire with family and friends, football games, a big pot of chili simmering on the stove and checking that our pantries are full with the makings for tasty meals. Why not come to beautiful downtown Gays Mills next week to discover what the Second Harvest truck has brought? We’ll have nutritious food to put in your car and will begin distribution at 2:00 and go until 3:00. Pull your vehicle in line and look for Harry to direct you. You’ll be given a menu for the day by the greeter, then tell him the number of households you’re picking up for, and the number of people in each of those households. Also, if there is any item on the selection list you do NOT want, let him know. Please try to have plenty of room in an empty trunk to stash the goods. In September, we gave out food to 300 households. Thank you, Second Harvest! With questions, please call JoAnn Gonos (608)-872-2583.
Congratulations to the Varsity Football team for securing an undefeated Ridge and Valley Conference Championship on Friday night against Kickapoo/La Farge!
The WIAA playoff bracket will be released at 10am on Saturday morning. Tune in to see who the Trojans will play Week 1 of the playoffs on October 18 at 1pm!

Signs, signs, everywhere there's signs...the district is fortunate to have the opportunity to update some of our exterior signage. We now have a new LED lighted sign in front of the building along Cty X; a new double sided sign at the intersection of Cty X and Hwy 131; and a new sign on our community fitness Shed. We're grateful to have the opportunity to partner with Proline out of Viroqua who created and manufactured the signs. Thank you to our maintenance staff for their hard work installing the signs. #TrojanPride

Tech Tips for Families: Discovering Digital at Primary School
Children in primary school are navigating a digital world from an early age. Whether they’re using tablets or watching YouTube, it’s important to build safe habits early. Internet Matters’ “Discovering Digital at Primary School” guide offers helpful advice to support young learners as they explore online:
Know what they’re doing online – From tablets to games and YouTube, be curious and ask them to show you their favorite activities.
Talk about risks – Help them understand why some content isn’t appropriate, how oversharing can be risky, and what cyberbullying looks like.
Manage screen time – Create healthy habits by setting time limits and balancing online with offline play.
Use parental controls – Schools use filters; use similar tools at home to help block adult or age-inappropriate content.
Keep communication open – Use stories and questions to start conversations, make shared decisions about what's okay to do online, and let kids know it’s always safe to talk if something goes wrong.
