Parent Teacher Conference: Amazing Turn-out!<br />

On October 30 and 31, our parents were welcomed on campus for two straight days to celebrate<br />

parent teacher conferences with the Holualoa School teachers. The relationship with your child's<br />

teacher is so important to maximize your child's success. It was great to see how much kind,<br />

intelligent, and friendly parents took time out of their busy schedules to discuss academic goals with<br />

the teachers. Thank you for your support of your child and the Holualoa School teacher!<br />

Highlights for families with infants and young children<br />

Smartphones. Tablets. E-books, and more. The explosion of new screen devices offers both possibilities<br />

and challenges for families today. When should children be introduced to screens? How much time<br />

should they spend with screens? Is screen time helpful or harmful to children’s brain development? Does<br />

content matter? Find out more @ www.commercialfreechildhood.org/screendilemma<br />
