DCS has partnered with Eagle Counseling and First Baptist Church for a few of our Family Academy workshops. Navigating the Digital World will be presented on Monday from 6pm-7pm. This is a fabulous workshop that informs parents about social media, how to establish boundaries and more. This is open to all parents, faculty, staff, etc.
“Parenting has never been easy. But the widespread adoption of technology and social media has introduced a new wrinkle to the challenges of parenthood. How should we be using technology and social media in a way that contributes to the good of society, others, and ourselves? What does it mean to model digital citizenship at home? How do we teach digital citizenship to our children? Social media is here to stay, let’s make it work!”
Math Coach, Mrs. Lenhardt, is teaching a special lesson to all our students in celebration of the 100th day of school! Here she is with Mrs. Tribble’s third grade class.
