PARENT CHAT
"Smart Social Media Usage"
with Lori Smith
Thursday, September 12th
8:15 a.m
*Room Location TBD*
Lori W. Smith of Zimmerman, Kiser, & Sutcliffe, P.A., will be here to discuss how youth can use social media in a smart way. She will highlight successes of young teens who have used social media in school, entertainment, and youth related businesses. Ms. Smith will also highlight common social media mistakes.
In today's world of fast-paced and varied technological communication, children and adults are often surprised at the ramifications of hitting that "send" or "post" button without careful consideration. As a result of Ms. Smith's previous presentations, many adolescents seem to be rethinking their social media and communication choices.
We ask that at least one parent of our 5th and 6th grade students attend this timely and relevant chat.

We are absolutely delighted to share that we were so very fortunate to have found an outstanding person to replace Mrs. Noll as our first grade math teacher! Ms. Lyn Rogers, a highly qualified, passionate and dedicated teacher with deep roots at Park Maitland School is joining our school family.
Welcome “back” to Park Maitland School Ms. Rogers!
Lyn Rogers was born and raised in Winter Park, Florida. The granddaughter of the well acclaimed Florida architect and daughter of singer songwriter Gamble Rogers, she grew up as the youngest in a family that was steeped in the creative process and the pursuit of lifelong learning. She was incredibly fortunate to be in Mrs. Cohen’s first kindergarten class at Park Maitland School, and it was through its unique traditions, musical performances, and creative academics that she ultimately decided upon Teaching as her profession. She received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Elementary Education from Stetson University, and she is currently pursuing a Master of Liberal Studies at Rollins College. She has taught for over thirty years in public, private, and tutorial settings, and her desire to help children with developmental delays led her to establish two brain-based programs for children with learning differences.
Ms. Rogers is overjoyed to be back full circle, now as a math teacher at Park Maitland School. The early seeds of wonder and achievement that Mrs. Cohen planted and nurtured in her students have continued to grow through Lyn’s teaching experiences over the past thirty years. Thankful to be a recipient of such a creative and well-rounded academic community, she can still hear Mrs. Cohen’s sweet voice saying, “Now honey, remember to be kind to others, and always say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’.”

DOT DAY!
We are excited to announce that Park Maitland will be participating in DOT DAY again this year! Dot Day is based on the book
The Dot
by Peter H. Reynolds. It's a story about a caring teacher who dares a doubting student to trust in her own abilities by being brave enough to “make her mark”. What begins with a small dot on a piece of paper becomes a breakthrough in confidence and courage, igniting a journey of self-discovery and sharing".
Students, please help celebrate this day by wearing "dots" on Monday, September 16th.
