WHM parents learn more about technology and online safety


By Miss Menesale

Wood Hill parents gathered in The Hub on Friday, Feb. 27 to learn more about keeping their teens safe online. The talk was hosted by School Adjustment Counselors Patty Casey and Hillary Brooks. More than 20 parents came to hear Andover police officers Kevin Aufiero and Steve Gerrior and WHM Digital Learning Specialist Sarah Menesale discuss issues of online safety, technology use, various apps and programs, and resources for parents. 

Parents shared tips with each other and had an open and honest discussion about online safety and use. Discussion topics included types of accounts students had, privacy settings, access to usernames and passwords, cyberbullying, examples of students being exclusive posting pictures, friending each other.
