Parent Education Night - Internet Safety

Parent Education Night

Sponsored by the ASLS Parent-Teacher Partnership

Wednesday, February 8th, 6:30pm

Texting, Facebook, You Tube. What are kids doing on the Internet? And who are they talking with? Learn about social networking, texting, and how to keep your child safe online at our Internet Safety Night on Wednesday, February 8, 2012, 6:30-8:00 p.m. in the Worship and Family Life Center.

Technology is changing fast, and many of us are struggling to stay one step ahead of our kids and learn everything we can about going online. This isn’t an easy task – our kids have never known life without the Internet and in many cases, know more about it than we do.

Please join our Technology Coordinator, Scott Akerson, as we discuss what our children are doing online and how to teach them to be smart, safe, and respectful digital citizens. You’ll learn about:

• The importance of learning about the sites and applications your child uses.

• Smart phones and how kids are using them. • Social networking sites and how to help your child use them wisely. • What to do if your child is the victim of online bullying. • Objectionable content, how to block it, and what to do if your child

views it. • Online gaming.

We look forward to seeing you Wednesday, February 8, 2012 at 6:30 p.m. and discussing this important topic. A short Parent-Teacher Partnership meeting with presentations from Principal Montgomery and the Board of Education will follow the Internet Safety presentation. This event is open to all Abiding Savior families! Childcare will be provided.
