Keeping Kids Safe- Community Event
Rivercrest High School Auditorium
Thursday, August 8 from 7 pm-8 pm
Attendees will be entered in a drawing for "Home Games 24-25 Athletic Season Pass for a Family of Four".
Navigating online activity has become a challenge for many parents, making it harder to monitor what their children are downloading and playing on their devices. To support parents in safeguarding their kids, Rivercrest School District is hosting a special event featuring guest speaker Dr. Robin Finley.
This event is open to anyone interested in learning more about keeping our children safe.
Informative Session: Empower yourself with the knowledge and tools necessary to ensure the safety of your children and yourself in the online environment.
Best Practices: Delve into effective strategies for online safety and learn how to navigate the challenges of the digital world.
Interactive Learning: Gain valuable insights into the applications children are using and the potential risks associated with them.
Important Note:
Due to the sensitive nature of the topics discussed, the event is for adults only. Child supervision will be available in the Rivercrest gym, adjacent to the auditorium. We invite everyone from the community and surrounding school districts to join us for this crucial discussion. Together, we can ensure a safer digital experience for our children.
Please help us stuff the bus! Drop off school supplies today (Saturday, August 3) from 9:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. at Osceola Walmart.
