News from our Guidance Counselor

February 17, 2017
 
Dear Saint Anne Parent,

On  Tuesday, March 14th , at  6:30 PM , Carol Gudbrandsen, Cyber Crimes Analyst, with the State's Attorney's Office, will present a free workshop to the Saint Anne parent community called "Internet Security: What You Need to Know to Keep Your Child Safe." Carol will share true-life Lake County examples of how people use technology to commit crimes, with an emphasis on crimes against children. Some of the specific topics covered are internet safety, cyber-bullying, and sexting. 

Carol will return to Saint Anne School on March 15 th  to speak with our students about the same topics. This effort is intended to educate students on how to stay safe while using technology and how one's electronic footprint can have an impact on the rest of his or her life.   

Please join us on March 14th to equip and prepare our children to be digitally responsible citizens.   This adult event is open to the public so you may invite others.....it is appropriate for parents with children of all ages.  

Please read the attached for more information and Carol Gudbrandsen's bio.

Respectfully,
Mrs. Sasa Mo
School Guidance Counselor
