We have become aware of an app that students are using that parents may want to be aware of. The Saturn app uses students’ phone numbers, Snapchat accounts or school emails to create accounts. Once they have an account, they can upload their class schedules and connect with other students in the school. Anyone who signs up for an account can see all the information for everyone else in that school. Please talk to your students about the importance of keeping personal information private.

Per Rule 6A-1.0955(8)(m), F.A.C., Education Records, school districts are required to develop a form to obtain parental consent to use any deviation or nickname from the child’s legal name in school.

If you would like for your child to be able to use a name aside from their legal given name on any of our campuses, we will ask for you to complete the consent form titled “Parental Authorization for Deviation from Student’s Legal Name Form” which will be found in your Skyward Family Access. Please include all variations that are approved on your form.
