Join a parent presentation by Katie Greer, hosted by PMHS, and learn more about what she shared with our High School students earlier in the day.

Katie Greer, formerly the Director of Internet Safety for the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office and Intelligence Analyst for the Massachusetts State Police, will be visiting PMHS to speak with parents and students. (To learn more about Katie Greer, click here.)

She will be speaking about cyberbullying, internet safety, social media, and how to keep your kids safe online. The student event will be held during school hours and the parent event will be held on Monday, December 1 in the PMHS auditorium at 7pm.

Specifics will include: 

• Understanding that your online reputation (often for the rest of your life) starts with the decisions you make now and can be wonderfully powerful if done right

• Capturing your life on social media—and the risks that come with it

• Privacy: Is there such thing anymore? What do our settings guarantee? What are the long-term implications of our constant use of these devices/apps/platforms?

• Digital health: A down and dirty conversation about digital health and how these devices are impacting our moods, behaviors and relationships. The physical and psychological importance of giving our brains and bodies a break from screens

• Employment and college admissions risks and opportunities

• Let's talk about sex...ting. It's happening EVERYWHERE. Laws are all over the place. Long-term repercussions are currently unknown. Pressure is a driving force. Real talk about a pervasive social issue and healthy relationships
