PARENT FORUM: “ Navigating the Cyber World”
Cyberbullying Is Serious. When computers, cell phones or other devices are used to embarrass or hurt someone, it is called cyberbullying.
When? January 13, 2015, 7-8:30 PM
Where? Ottoson Middle School
The Internet, cell phones and social networking sites offer powerful and almost limitless opportunities to gain knowledge and make contact with others. While there are many positive aspects of technology, this forum will alert parents to some common dangers youth face while using the Internet. David Solet will also explore the critical cyber-component of bullying.
PRESENTER: David Solet, General Counsel and Chief of Cyber Protection, Middlesex District Attorney’s Office
David Solet attended Princeton University, where he majored in Politics and graduated summa cum laude in 1988, and Harvard Law School, where he graduated cum laude in 2001. After law school he joined the Middlesex District Attorney’s Office, where he worked his way from the Cambridge Juvenile Court, Somerville District Court and Cambridge District Court to the Middlesex Superior Court. He currently serves as General Counsel and as Chief of the CyberProtection Program.

Brackett Readers Program Needs Volunteers!
The Brackett Readers are in need of a few more people to work with Kindergarten youngsters as they develop their reading skills.
This is a weekly 45 minute commitment. Readers work on a one to one basis with a child who will learn the joy of reading. The time and place at the school is flexible so readers can set the optimal time to be with their student.
If you have the time and want to be part of the progress of a new reader, contact Toni Foynes, the Brackett School Reading Specialist, at Afoynes@arlington.k12.ma.us or Roly Chaput, Readers Coordinator at Radioroly@gmail.com

Adapted from the classic and beloved E. B. White novel, Charlotte's Web tells the memorable story of Wilbur, a little pig who becomes famous with the help of his cleverfriend Charlotte and their chatty animal neighbors. As the runt of the litter, Wilbur struggles to survive from the very beginning. Fern begs her father, Mr. Arable, to raise Wilbur and nurse him to health. Fern succeeds and Wilbur moves to Zuckerman Farm, where he learns the true meaning of friendship from the wise gray spider Charlotte. When it becomes apparent that Wilbur is being well fed for a reason, Charlotte and Wilbur are determined to foil Mr. Zuckerman's plans. With the help of Charlotte and her "terrific" webs, Templeton the rat, and other barnyard friends, Wilbur becomes the prize-winning pig of the County Fair and the most famous pig ever.
