GOOD AFTERNOON HMS FAMILIES:
The holiday weekend weather is looking pretty darn good. The current forecast is calling for temperatures in the 70s and possibly reaching in the 80s if we are lucky. At the moment and for the foreseeable future, there is no sign of rain. As for our local teams, the Mets are away playing the Rockies and the Yankees are home against the Padres. Our non-local team, the Sox, are away as well and are playing the Diamondbacks. As the weather is looking great this weekend and if you can get a ticket, why not try and see the Bronx Bombers? In football news, Aaron Rogers is already hurt as he “tweaked” his calf. Hopefully this “minor” injury isn’t a prelude to other injuries that keeps the Jets high-paid QB off the field. With this all said, I hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable holiday weekend.
Please take a few minutes to review the below updates and reminders:

With the constant surge of new information, programs and apps, the world is a click or text away. But with new advances come new dangers and concerns. Parents need to be aware of the technology their children use and the trouble that can follow if safety rules are not in place. Most apps can be used in fun, positive ways – but not all programs are appropriate for all ages. This program shows parents the positives and potential pitfalls of today’s most popular programs.
Topics covered range from the following:
Social Networking: Concerns parents should have
Cyberbullying: How to talk to your children about getting involved
Texting and Sexting
