Gates Chili schools has warning to protect children’s identities

ROCHESTER, N.Y. — We have a warning for parents and teachers about protecting children’s identities.

The Gates Chili Central School District shared this post. It says back-to-school photos often reveal personal information about students.

Photos like this example from a school resource officer often include the school name, their grade, teacher, age, and more.

This personal information can be used by criminals. School leaders recommended you keep this kind of sharing on social media to a minimum or make sure to edit it out of photos, use emojis, or other images to cover up certain info.
