Calling all Kindergartners

years old on or before September 30, 2018 is eligible to attend GBW. If you
know of a neighbor (within our boundaries) who has a child eligible for
Kindergarten, please share this information with them and encourage them to
contact school registrar, Patty Li, at 703-633-6700. Thank you for your help
with this.

Parent Program
The Internet is
an amazing tool kids can use to do homework, keep in touch with friends and
families, and access educational opportunities. However, the Internet is
also filled with inappropriate content. Developmentally, the
preadolescent and middle school child is still learning impulse control.
This can lead them to make decisions in cyberspace that dramatically impact
their lives and the lives of their family. Rocky Run Middle School presents “Exploring
the Effects of the Online World on our Kids,” on April 26,
7:00 p.m. at Rocky Run Middle School. This program is open to all
parents. Parents of elementary and middle school children will find it
most useful. Parents will be given information on how to guide and
protect kids on-line, what technology is used in the classrooms in FCPS, and
receive a multitude of parent resources: parental controls, independent
reviews, age ratings, & other information about all types of media kids are
using and/or exposed to; and information on the apps and websites kids are
using after Facebook.
In order to
make this program more meaningful for our parents, we ask you to complete a
short survey, found at https://goo.gl/forms/6vvXX1tVR4PV9Hsp2
Your answers to
this survey will help us shape the workshops for participants.
