Loveland, Ohio – Today was the first day of school for the Loveland District and in a “Welcome Back, Tigers!” video on FaceBook, Superintendent Dr. Amy Crouse urged parents to send her photos of the children as they head back to school, whether in-person or remotely. Many parents already have and the photos have been posted on the District’s public FaceBook and Twitter pages.
Many of these photos contain personal information about the child, whether standing at their front door, in their neighborhood or even photos of the child in their bedroom where they will be studying. Some of the photos give first names, some last names, what grade they are in, and their age. Many say the name of their teacher.
On the District Twitter page, you can read the parent’s full name along with the child’s photo. Some of the posts disclose which day a child will be home and which day a child will be on the bus or at school, which reveals when a child may be waiting on their school bus or getting off one.
Posting back to school photos on a personal FaceBook page is common practice and shared with personal friends and grandparents, however, posting children’s photos of them in their bedroom on a public page is infinite in the number of people around the globe who can now view the images along with the personal information.
The invitation to parents said:
We know that this school year is starting like no other, but we still want to still celebrate the first day of school on Monday.
We hope that whether you are starting school in person or remotely that you share your official “first day of school” photos with us!
Share using the hashtag #LCSFirstDay20 or email your photos to krsacome@lovelandschools.org. We will feature student photos on our social media channels all week! #TigersTogether #LCSFirstDay20.
