A Message from the Principal
Technology and the Internet are valuable tools in our society. We know how important they are in our changing world, but it is also important to be aware of the dangers the cyber space for ourselves and our children.
On Wednesday, October 27th, Incarnation School will host a cyber awareness presentation for parents and parishioners in the school auditorium at 7:00 p.m. This presentation is intended for adults only. It is an Internet safety presentation which also includes background information on cases/investigations conducted by the federal government. We strongly encourage at least one parent to attend this information evening. I am grateful to Mr. Jorge Guzman, Inca parent, for helping us organize this presentation for our school and parish community. We hope to see you here on the 27th!
Sincerely,
Ms. Olivia Carrillo
