Thanks for the efforts of the Darien High School Parents’ Association, a forum for parents and students was conducted at Darien High School recently.  The forum was entitled: “Don’t Text It, Sext It or Post It on Your Wall.”  Panelists included Michael Spinney a Massachusetts-based expert on Internet privacy protection;  Sgt. Joe Kennedy the head of the Stamford Police Department’s Internet Crimes Against Minors Task Force; and Dan Haron, Principal of Darien High School.

The forum lasted approximately two hours and included some important, even eye-opening information of value for students and parents.  Please click here to view the video.

This message will be the last in a long series of school district updates regarding H1N1 flu and vaccines, since the issue is currently (and fortunately) a non-issue.  At this point, the Darien Health Department is NOT planning any further public vaccination clinics. However, anyone who would like to be vaccinated can call (203) 656-7320 to make an appointment. There is plenty of vaccine available to anyone who wishes to receive it.  We are also reminded by David Knauf, Health Director, that should future events result in the need for additional clinics, they will utilize all avenues at their disposal to inform the public and schedule them accordingly.  The Health Department has issued a final update on this matter which is available for reading by clicking the link below.  Spring is just around the corner.  Hope it is healthy for all.
