Are you concerned about your middle school student's safety in the world of smartphones? Do you know the passwords for all the sites they visit and the apps they use? Don’t miss the very informative parent presentation by outspoken anti-bullying advocate John Halligan. Mr. Halligan understands the cyber‐world that middle school students inhabit and knows how it can easily be abused by young teens. Come to find out what he wishes he had been told when his son started using computers and some of the warning signs that your child might be bullied, might be bullying, or might be a bystander. Make time to come because your kids will thank you. See Mr. Halligan’s website for more details. Mr. Halligan will bring his message to Longfellow’s 7th grade students during regular school hours on Tuesday, October 30th.
