Let's Talk Digital Citizenship

An Evening for Parents and Guardians

We invite you to join us!

The digital world that our kids are learning and growing up in is incredibly exciting. Through technology, kids have access to new tools, to an incredible range of resources, and to stimulating opportunities to participate in novel ways. At the same time, parenting kids who are immersed in so many different technologies and apps can be daunting. Our schools are already working to make sure students cultivate the 21st century skills they need. It's time to bring parents into the conversation about kids’ digital lives. A joint-effort between parents and educators is a valuable way to more fully support the students and families in our community.

Please join us for an evening of sharing and discussion around the topic of Digital Citizenship, facilitated by Bonnie Birdsall, the Williston School District's Technology Integration Specialist.
