North Penn Elementary School To Hold 'Internet Safety Night'

LANSDALE, PA -- Parents of students in grades four through six at General Nash Elementary School are invited to a Social Media and Internet Safety Night on Tuesday, January 17 from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the school's gym.

"Did your family receive new tech gadgets over the holidays, perhaps a smartphone, tablet or a new gaming system?" the flyer for the event reads. "Do you know what forms of social media your children are using? How much time do your kids spend on technology and what effect does that have on them?"

As social media becomes more present in our lives, it is more important than ever for families to understand the consequences of our social media and internet decisions, the school said.

The Home and School Association of General Nash Elementary will host the event. North Penn School District Director of Safe Schools Ray Wilson, Detective Mike Paul of the Towamencin Police Department, and David Shallcross of the PA Attorney General’s Office will be on hand at General Nash to discuss these issues and other concerns.

Those who plan to attend are asked to RSVP to Sue Daubert at sdaubert@yahoo.com, for planning purposes.

General Nash Elementary School is located at 1560 Liberty Bell Drive in Harleysville.
