[Needham Public Schools Superintendent's Update]

July 14, 2017

Dear Needham Families,

In the last few days, the media has been reporting about the dangers of a
social media game, “Blue Whale”,  where young people are encouraged to
engage in increasingly risky behavior.


Because of the increased media attention, I thought it would be prudent to
make you aware of this information, especially because your child may now
be aware of the game and perhaps curious to learn more.

This caution is no different from past communications reminding parents to
be aware of your child’s use of social media and the Internet.

Best wishes for an enjoyable and safe summer.


Dan Gutekanst
