RVIS Families,

It has been brought to our attention by a HS staff member that multiple tik-tok accounts like this account in the screenshot exist and are being used by RV students in the Intermediate School. This post is informational and, hopefully, motivating to parents to address this with their children.

In a short investigation by our admin, there are students well under 13 on these pages (the legal age that children can have tik-tok/social media). The students are posting varying degrees of posts from benign to inappropriate. This is an issue for us beyond the school environment and is a problem that needs parent involvement/monitoring.

Some students have multiple accounts under their names or others' names following the same pages which means they probably have an account their parents know about and others that they don't (known as "burner" accounts). They will post appropriate interactions on their known account and inappropriate things on their "burner" account that is blocked from their parents.

This is not something the school will deal with unless it includes content aimed at other students or the school, but use of school logos, images from school, images of other students without their consent, and images of staff members without their consent will be dealt with in accordance with the school handbook and policies regarding acceptable use. Please take this as a suggestion to monitor your child's phone beyond just physically looking at it from time to time. If a child has a phone, it should be monitored with some sort of digital parent app AND be checked at random times.

Thank you for your attention to this. We encourage parents to reach out if they find issues that need to be handled at the school level.
