| A Note from the Headmaster
Hello Parents, Last night we had a parent discussion regarding social media. I am so thankful for the work Mr. Brown has done this school year. I learned so much last night when it comes to the prevalence and possible dangers of social media. My big takeaway is that we need to be involved in our children’s lives, talking with them daily, and setting clear boundaries. We do not know what we do not know. Attached is his presentation as well as a link to a video he showed regarding cyberbullying. Sincerely, Summer School 2022 We are pleased to announce that Glendale Prep will be offering Summer School from June 7th through June 30th. Please see this brochure for course offerings and other information, and sign up through this link.
