We will speak more about this at the parent meeting next Thursday 1/13 at 6pm. We hope to see you there! Have a great week! Mrs. Giron & Ms. Aceves THE DIGITAL PARENT Tips and Tricks for Parenting in the 21st Century This tip is from: CommonSenseMedia.org Many children will receive new gaming systems and devices this Christmas season. There are so many games on the market it is almost impossible to know what each is about and/or if they are appropriate for your child. The website above: CommonSenseMedia.org rates & reviews all games (and movies, tv shows, etc) for content. It's a great way to check to see if the game you are allowing your children to play is appropriate for them.    Extra Service Hour Opportunities If you are ready to get some service hours this year, here is what is needed so far: Volunteer: *Yard duty volunteers (from 10-10:35 and/or from 12-12:45 daily) MUST let the office know in advance if you would like to volunteer *Parent driver to pick up a refrigerator to deliver to our school.
