Ralston Elementary is hosting an Internet safety presentation to help parents and students understand the risks children face when they go online.

PARENTS

Mike Harris, a Jefferson County District Attorney Investigator, will give a presentation followed by a Q&A session. Students are NOT allowed at this meeting so that parents can have an open, candid and graphic discussion of what dangers exist for children who go online. Babysitting will be available at the school for any children.
