eitner Parent Evening: Jan. 30, 2019
Please Note: This event is open to parents from HAIS member schools. Parents from Hanahau'oli, Punahou, St. Andrew's and St. Louis should contact their school for the appropriate registration code.
Parents today worry that kids are addicted, detached or distracted because of digital devices. Often, adults are less conscious about what they are modeling
with their own relationship with technology. Tech-savvy Digital Natives need mentorship to thrive, develop social skills and succeed in a future where they will likely find a job, meet their spouse and build their reputations in interactive, digital communities. Adults can share our own lifetime of social wisdom to mentor children to become the best people that they can be.
Time:
5:15pm - 7:00pm
Location:
St. Louis School
Cost:
Free for parents from HAIS member schools
This event is sponsored by St. Andrew's, Punahou, Hanahau'oli St. Louis and HAIS
