As part of our Warriors BEyond Intersession at Mariemont High School, we are seeking community members and professionals to serve as mentors for a two-day student shadow experience.

During Intersession (May 20–21, 2025), students step outside the classroom to explore real-world careers. One option is the Experienceship, where students shadow professionals in a career field they are passionate about pursuing after high school.

We are currently looking for mentors in a variety of industries—healthcare, finance, education, engineering, media, research, law, architecture, trades, business, and more!

Mentor Expectations:

• Host a student on May 20 & 21 for 4–8 hours per day (flexible)
• Allow students to observe your daily work, attend meetings, and learn from you and/or your team
• Provide a welcoming, engaging experience for a high school junior
• Optional: Attend a brief student showcase on May 22, where students present about their shadowing experience
• We’ll handle transportation and parent permissions—you just share your world!

If you’re open to learning more or know someone who might be, please contact:

As summer approaches and your student’s schedule opens up, it’s the perfect time to set clear expectations around technology use. That’s why this month’s Growing Up Digital Parenting Tip focuses on steps you can take before summer arrives. By being proactive and collaborative now, you’ll help your student enjoy a fun, responsible, and balanced summer— online and off.

Set Clear Screen-Time Boundaries

• Agree on daily tech limits that are right for your family (e.g., max 1-2 hours of passive screen use).
• Encourage "tech-free" zones (meal times, bedtime) to ensure unplugged family moments.
• Tip: Use a visible timer or screen time limits that automatically locks apps when daily limits are reached.

Balance Online & Offline Activities

• Plan tech-integrated activities: digital photography nature walks, coding camps, or family video-chat check-ins with out-of-town relatives.
• Promote hobbies that don't involve screens—sports, reading, art projects—to keep them engaged and healthy.
• Tip: Kick off each morning by choosing one non-screen summer activity—like a walk or craft—to pair with any screen time.

Practice Safe Sharing

• Remind kids to think before posting: once something's online, it's hard to take back.
• Review privacy settings together on social media apps and game platforms—ensure profiles are private and location sharing is off.
• Tip: Before posting, have your child do a "privacy check" by listing three things strangers shouldn't know and confirming none are visible.

Build Critical Thinking Around Content

• Encourage them to question what they see: Who made this? Why? Is it accurate?
• Teach them to identify clickbait and to verify news or claims with two reputable sources before believing or sharing.
• Tip: When they see a sensational headline, challenge them to name one trusted source they'd check before believing it.

Model Respectful Online Behavior

• Discuss the importance of kindness in comments and texts—treat online friends as they would face-to-face peers.
• Talk about cyberbullying: what it looks like, how to respond (block/report), and when to come to you for help.
• Tip: After any family text or comment exchange, ask your child to identify one respectful phrase they used or could use next time.

Protect Personal Information

• Stress that passwords are like toothbrushes—private and changed regularly.
• Role-play scenarios: What personal details (school name, home address, phone number) should never be shared in a chat or on a profile?
• Tip: Turn password updates into a monthly family ritual—everyone changes at least one password together.

Foster a Positive Digital Footprint

• Challenge them to create something constructive: a summer blog, a family newsletter email, or a curated playlist with reviews.
• At week's end, review their creations together— celebrate good choices and discuss any red flags.
• Tip: Set a weekly "creation challenge," like a photo collage or blog post, and celebrate the most creative entry each Sunday.
