The Lower Moreland Police Department shared today a “Back to School Safety Reminder” regarding the sharing of back-to-school photos and information on social media.

Police are urging parents to “avoid including your child’s name, school, or other identifiable details, as this could potentially be used to gain their trust.”

“If you do choose to use signs that display your child’s age, grade, teacher, or interests, remember that less information is always better,” the department said. “Additionally, be cautious when sharing photos that reveal your child’s school uniform, as this could also provide identifying information.”

Lower Moreland District schools begin their year on September 2. Their academic calendar can be found here.
