Screenagers Event
Monday night's Screenagers event at the High School is going to be a great next step for families working to manage the stress of talking to kids about social media use and navigating screen time limits at home. We encourage you to come out for an evening filled with information and ideas. Please see the details below.
Here's a little preview for you . . .
Parents and students K-12, please join us Feb 11th from 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm in the St Joseph High School’s John and Dede Howard auditorium for a viewing of Screenagers. Screenagers is an award-winning film that depicts the challenging struggles that families have over social media, video games and academics. The film offers solutions on how we can help our kids navigate the digital world.
After viewing the film, we have a county expert, Joe Rommel, who will give additional updates on current social media trends and suggestions for parents on setting boundaries with their students’ social media use. Refreshments will be available, along with free childcare offered by SJHS National Honor Society student group. Childcare is available for toddler through elementary school age children.
Spring Conferences
Spring Parent-Teacher Conferences in February and March are scheduled for select students. Teachers will be scheduling conferences for students who are at-risk of not meeting year-end learning targets and for those who are experiencing social or emotional difficulties. Parents or guardians may also request a conference.
Calling All Volunteers!
We are so fortunate to have received a grant from our generous SJPS Foundation for the purchase of additional books for our fourth and fifth grade classroom libraries districtwide. We are in need of volunteers to organize and adhere stickers to all of our new literature. If you are available to help in the Brown School office, please consider coming in anytime on Friday, February 15th. Thank you! |
| Mark your calendars for the BIG show on March 4th @ 6 p.m. |
