Snapchat Update

Snapchat has recently introduced a new feature in it’s most current update, Snap Map location sharing. This feature allows you to view the exact location of your friends. It can give you the area, town, and street and if you zoom in enough, it shows the house on the street layout. If your children use Snapchat, we encourage you to talk about who their friends are and help them to check their location settings to ensure they have their location set to Ghost mode or Select Friends.

In fact, all of these sources also tested below the Illinois Department of Public Health (IDPH) notification level of 5 ppb. Please read the District 35 letter for the full details of our update.
