Community Presentation: September 18th at 6:30 in the Tyngsborough High School Gymnasium (Please note that this is an 18+ event)
Our kids are doing WHAT? What can I do to protect them? What apps should I be worried about? Is social networking safe? Is my child being cyberbullied? What’s texting? Sexting? What’s next? It’s often overwhelming being a parent today in our technology-driven society. Keeping up with the latest trends and dangers can often seem like an impossible task. Katie will help you navigate the digital waters and let you know what’s new, what’s now, and what’s next when it comes to your children and technology, and provides parents with proactive initiatives to keep kids safe. The following is an example of the information that is covered during this presentation:
- Updates on the latest technology trends and dangers
- Social media
- Digital Tattoos
- Interactive gaming
- Case examples and real life implications
- Cell phones/smartphones/devices
- Cyberbullying laws and legislation
- Overview of what message Katie sends to students
- Rules and regulations
- Q&A: Parents are encouraged to asked questions throughout, and the program will end with an open forum allowing parents more time to ask specific questions
Student Presentation
High school kids have seen it all and really in the thick of creating online reputations – whether they know it or not. What they often don’t understand is that people besides their friends (i.e. Colleges, law enforcement, principals, parents, and potential employers) are looking in on these behaviors regularly. With everything today being chronicled on social media, it’s important students this age fully understand where things go, and how it can impact them today or 5-10 years down the line. The High School presentation features an interactive program that invites students to share their personal experiences as Katie shares hers, plus:
- Social Networking
- Sexting
- Cyberbullying
- Digital Tattoos
- Apps
- Viral kindness
- Q&A: Time permitting, Katie invites questions from students
School Counseling
The deadline for students to add/drop a course is Tuesday, September 5th. Students should see their school counselor if they need to make a schedule change.
Students in grades 10-12 received an unofficial copy of their transcript in homeroom. Please contact your child’s school counselor if you have any questions in regards to transcripts.
