Learn the 10 Latest Apps for Keeping Kids Safe Online at Parent University

Crystal Lake Elementary District 47 will hold its second annual fall Parent University event on Thursday, November 3 from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Bernotas Middle School in Crystal Lake.

Guest speaker Matt Batt, founder of The Parent Feed and Project B3, will offer a 90-minute presentation on digital safety called The Parent Feed, where parents will learn about the top 10 latest apps and how to keep their kids smart, safe and responsible online and through social media, according to a press release.

The Parent Feed is the parent component of a similar presentation called Project B3 delivered to D47 middle school students earlier this fall. While the presentation is geared toward middle school parents, all District 47 parents are invited to attend and the event is free and open to the public.

The presentation is for adults only -- no childcare will be provided -- and will be delivered in both English and Spanish.

Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. From 6:30 to 7:00 p.m., parents are invited to visit tables hosted by community organizations to learn about extracurricular opportunities for youth in the Crystal Lake area. The Parent Feed presentation will begin promptly at 7:00 p.m.

Parking will be available at Bernotas Middle School (170 N. Oak St.) and North Elementary School (500 Woodstock St.) in Crystal Lake.

Questions can be directed to Denise Barr, coordinator of community relations for District 47, at dcbarr@d47.org.
