Stephen Smith - Social Media: Your Child’s Digital Tattoo

Staying ahead of the digital curve presents a continual challenge for both Hyde Park School and parents. This discussion centers on educating parents on how a child’s social media activity can impact their future endeavors. Stephen will provide information necessary to be an informed parent in an ever-changing digital world. His informative presentation gives parents the tools to better monitor their child’s online activity. With technology ever-changing, he keeps parents abreast of new apps and social media trends. His talk is easy to understand and gives parents more confidence in understanding what happens when their child goes online and clear steps on how to keep kids safe when they are online.

Winter Coat Drive
As the temperatures start to drop, and you find yourself digging through closets to find those winter jackets, please set aside any outgrown gently-used coats! We are in the process of organizing a winter coat drive to share the warmth with our HPS students. Locations for the drop boxes will be forthcoming. We will accept all donations of gently-used (or new) winter weather items. Ideally, we’d like to collect sizes ranging from 5T to XXL as we have a wide range of students spanning from Kindergarten to 6th grade. Thank you!
