Friday Focus
Do you have questions about the technology your students have?
BGHS is excited to welcome Dr. Devorah Heitner for a special parent information evening on November 18 at 7pm in the Theater.
Devorah Heitner PhD offers insights for high school parents on growing up in a connected world with a focus on digital footprint for college and career. Dr. Heitner will also address communication etiquette, technology, "executive function" and managing distractions when studying. Are your kids using social media to enhance opportunities and minimizing potentially embarrassing media blunders? How can they prevent (or repair) problems in their lives that could undermine future opportunities?
Come learn about these questions and more on Tuesday November 18th at 7pm in the Theater. We look forward to seeing you then!
