I am so happy to be in a school that keeps us busy. Busy is a good sign because it means that we are doing more for the children. One activity that keeps us busy and that the kids love is Pizza Lunches. Mrs. Laco, our parent rep, reminds everyone that the pizza lunch forms need to be submitted by this Wednesday the 13th. Late forms cannot participate in the first pizza lunch on October 22. Kindergarten participation is only on June 29th and the forms for their lunch will be distributed in May.
Next week,Allison Dellandrea, another parent, has volunteered to present a workshop on Internet safety to our parent community. We are so appreciative as this is such valuable information. We also have the pleasure of working with Mrs. Dellandrea in the classroom with the older students throughout the year. The following will give you an idea of what she will be presenting. We hope to see you there.
Are you wondering where your children might be going on-line?
Struggling to keep up with your kids’ use of technology, and social networking?
Do you want to increase your knowledge about how to guard your kids against inappropriate Internet content, cyberbullying, and on-line predators?
Would you like to learn more about:
• Instant messaging (on computers and handheld devices)
• Social networking sites (Facebook, MSN)
• Strategies for protecting personal information on-line
• “webfilters” and “parental controls”
• Where and how to report on-line exploitation, or concerning content
• Reliable resources for you and your children
If so, please come to this one-hour ‘primer’ in Internet Safety for Parents, led by LKS Mom and Internet Child Exploitation prosecutor, Allison Dellandrea, and a member of the Toronto Police Service.
Date & Times: Wednesday, October 13th. 2-3 pm or 6-7 pm
Location: Room 211
PLEASE SIGN IN AT THE OFFICE FIRST FOR A VISITOR TAG!
We hope you all have a wonderful weekend with your family and friends.
