CSD Parent Night

Dear PTA Members and School Community Council Members of CSD Elementary Schools,

Hillcrest High School and Jordan High School, along with the Evidence Based Learning Department is hosting a parent night with Dr. Leonard Sax.  Dr. Sax is the author of the popular books, Boys on the Edge and Girls Adrift.  He will be speaking about the effects of social media on students and how boys and girls face different challenges as they interact in a world that is inundated with technology. I've attached a flyer about Dr. Sax and his presentation.  The event takes place next Tuesday, April 8th from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm at the PDC District office on 300 East.  Please forward this information to as many parents as you can as it will undoubtedly be an informative and memorable evening.  Please contact me if you have any questions about the event. Feel free to post it on social media and to forward this electronic communication.

Sincerely,

Karen Fairhurst

Achievement Coach
