Deerfield Parent Network Presents..
“Teens and the Law”
Join us on Tuesday, February 25th, at 7:30 PM in the Deerfield High School Café for “Teens and the Law.”This program will feature a circuit court judge, a criminal attorney, local law enforcement, and a DHS administrator discussing key topics such as legal liabilities for social hosts, vaping, curfew laws, driving violations, and the consequences of underage alcohol and drug use.
Harlan Cohen presents “5 Simple Rules for High School Parents:
In today’s world, parents often find themselves solving problems for their children instead of guiding them to overcome challenges on their own. This can leave students without the grit and life skills necessary to thrive beyond high school. Join Harlan Cohen, New York Times bestselling author, on Thursday, March 6, 2025 at 7:30 pm in the DHS Auditorium, as he shares “5 Simple Rules for High School Parents.”In this engaging session, Harlan will provide actionable tools to help parents empower their teens to become more resilient, less reactive, and better at solving their own problems—skills essential for navigating the challenges of college and adulthood.
