Social Media Awareness Seminar

We are excited to announce that Susan Wind, a former criminal justice professor, will be conducting a 90 minute parent seminar on Thursday, March 10th at 7pm at the Johnston Oehler campus. 
 
This adult-only seminar geared towards  parents  of 3rd-6th grade students and will focus on many key topics such as what kids are doing online, how kids hide apps from parents, what is legal and illegal when it comes to the internet and social media, cyber bullying, and many other related topics.  This seminar is for parents with children of all ages, from kindergarten through college. Mark your calendars and plan on joining us! Please remember that no students will be permitted to attend this seminar.

We will offer another session in the fall.
