Mr. Stanton and Mr. Cabrera had to have a frank discussion with the middle school regarding consequences of sending inappropriate material to others. There are criminal consequences to such actions. They also discussed the AirDrop function and shutting down that option. Please discuss this with your children who have iPhones or other Apple products, they should not set themselves up to receive unwanted items via AirDrop. One such step is turning off Bluetooth and changing AirDrop Permissions to "Receiving Off." If you need further help, please review AirDrop functions on Apple's website.
