Joann Grice M.S. ED
Guidance Counselor Career Consultant
Working Together and Succeeding Our first priority is to our students but we must also
engage parents. We must find ways to help parents to assist us to meet the ever changing needs of our students. We can do this by meaningful workshops that will engage, educate, equip and empower parents.
This workshop will help counselors have an open forum for parents to understand dangers of the internet and to realize they are the first line of defense. Parents knowing more helps them to be active in teaching their children to safely use the computer and other forms of technology when using the internet.
