As students head back to school, parents are capturing first-day photos to mark the occasion. Broken Arrow police are reminding families to be mindful of how much personal information those photos may reveal when shared online.
A simple “First Day of School” sign is fine, but police recommend taking a few extra steps before posting.
Keep personal details limited
Parents should avoid including information that could identify a child’s classroom, teacher or daily routine.
- Keep personal details to a minimum.
- Avoid sharing the child’s teacher or classroom.
- Choose a background that does not identify the school or a daily location.
- Check photos for school IDs, bus numbers, addresses or other identifying information.
- Review privacy settings and who can see the post.
Celebrate the milestone safely
First-day photos are meant to capture an exciting milestone and create memories for families…
