Raising Resilient Kids: Navigating the Pitfalls of a Screen-Based Childhood with Tracey Galgoci, MA, LPC.
This will be a practical, welcoming, and judgment-free conversation about raising kids in today’s digital world. Come as you are, bring your questions, and hear realistic ideas you can use with your own family.
Together, we’ll talk about topics like:
Setting realistic boundaries around screens and technology
Navigating social media, gaming, and phones
Building independence, resilience, and problem-solving skills
Strengthening communication and connection at home
Making room for play, relationships, sleep, and real-world experiences
Responding when limits around technology feel difficult
There is no expectation to have it all figured out. This is a space for honest conversation, questions, and practical strategies that can work in real family life.
When: Oct. 21st @ 5:30 p.m.
Where: Fulton High School Commons



Parents of 9th-11th Graders
On Wednesday, October 21st, all students in grades 9–11 will be taking the PSAT/NMSQT (Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test).
The PSAT/NMSQT serves several purposes:
For 11th graders, the qualifying exam is the first step in the National Merit Scholarship Program, which recognizes and awards top academic performers nationwide.
For all students, the test provides valuable practice for the SAT and helps identify areas of academic strength as well as those where improvement is needed.
Our staff uses the results to help prepare students for spring testing by addressing gaps in learning.
Please note: CTE juniors will not attend their CTE program that day to participate in the testing. (seniors will attend CTE programs as normal)
The test is approximately 2.5 hours long and includes sections on math, evidence-based reading, and writing. Your student must be in attendance that day, as make-up testing will require them to miss regular classes.
If you have any questions, please contact our school counselor, Mr. Woodman at woodmang@fultonpirates.net
