The photo suggests safe information to share including students’ favorite classes and activities.

Information that police suggest keeping private include a student’s grade, teacher and school.

”No matter your privacy setting or friends, it’s best to keep personal information to a minimum,” deputies said.

“Back to school photos often reveal personal information about your child,” the post says in part. “School name, grade, age, and identifying features, etc. - these can all be used by predators and scammers.”
