TONIGHT! Parent Lecture Series - Navigating Social Media: What Parents Need to Know
Join us at 7 PM in the Ursuline Center for the second Parent Lecture Series evening of this school year. This is an incredible opportunity to hear from school parent and licensed counselor, John Williams. With over 30 years of experience working with youth and families, he will help outline the ways in which parents can help understand the benefits and pitfalls of how children today communicate via social media, and will answer questions you may have about your own experiences and fears.
This complimentary event is open to all! To help facilitate open discussion, we ask that children do not attend.
