Week of 04.15.19

Dear Westlake Parents and Guardians:

I’m always looking for ways to be a better, more informed parent especially when it comes to technology.  I don’t know about your households, but Netflix is a bit of a staple in mine.  While I really enjoy the programming available on Netflix not all of it is appropriate for the various ages of kids in my household.  I came across this article about parental controls on Netflix from Common Sense Media and wanted to share it with you.  While you’re looking at this article check out the vast amount of resources available for parents!

 

How to Set Parental Controls on Netflix

 

Color Fun Run- Let’s get registered!

Did you know the 2019 WLMS PTO Color Fun Run Registration is open??  This exciting event is taking place on May 10th, during school hours in the afternoon.  We are raising money to support technology needs for WLMS.  The Color Fun Run is a very fun event and students can choose to walk, run, skip, dance, whatever moves them!  No distance is required.  All we ask is that students wear white or light colors and be prepared to get COLORFUL!
