Is your teen hiding drugs in their room? Broadalbin-Perth’s Parent University is holding an event, Wednesday, Oct. 24, to help you find out. “Prevention Council-High Disguise” is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. in the Virtual AP Room at BPHS. Child care will be provided.
Please complete this registration, if you plan to attend.
The presentation, geared toward parents and other caring adults in the community, gives participants the opportunity to explore a mock teen bedroom. Participants will search for hidden drugs and paraphernalia, while learning about concealment methods and drug culture references. This will be followed with an in-depth discussion about the room and current trends. An opportunity for questions and answers will follow.
Parent University is a community collaboration led by Broadalbin-Perth. Through Parent University, Broadalbin-Perth partners with community agencies and organizations to offer free courses, family events and activities that will equip families with new or additional skills, knowledge, resources and the confidence to become full partners in their children’s education. The goal of Parent University is to increase parent involvement in B-P schools and empower parents to raise children who are successful in school and in life. Research has shown that parents can increase a child’s academic success through their involvement with schools and communities. Parental involvement improves student morale, attitudes, and academic achievement across all subject areas.
