Family Tech Talk: AI Risks and Benefits
AI Risks and Benefits
This free webinar, presented by an Internet Safety for All expert from Trend Micro, is
intended for parents and guardians with children of any age. AI is changing the way kids
learn, play, and connect — but it also brings new risks for families. In this one-hour and 15-
minute session, parents will discover the real dangers, the surprising benefits, and simple
steps to guide their kids safely through the world of AI.
Audio translation to Spanish will be available for this event.
If you are interested in joining this session, simply click the registration link:

You will be sent a ZOOM link afterwards.

We need PTA volunteers to help with concessions, bounce houses, check in, etc. Please see the Sign Up Genius and mark your name down if you can help us out.
If you pre-ordered tickets:
★ Go to the PRE-ORDER Check-In Table when you arrive. You can check in
faster at this table. This is where you will pick up your wristbands and raffle
tickets (if you ordered them) and door prize raffle tickets!
★ All children must be accompanied by a parent/guardian. Feel free to bring a
beach towel or chairs!
★ Parents are responsible for children using bounce houses. Please keep an eye
on your child.

PHOTOS
If you’d like to share photos from the event for our yearbook, send them to
yearbook@jfcooperpta.org or upload them to the TreeRing app.
IF YOU ARE HOSTING A TRUNK…
★ Please have your car in the big parking lot no later than 3:30pm. After
everyone is in, we will block off the area so no other cars can come into the
Trunk or Treat area.
★ You will be directed where to park and which direction to face when you arrive.
We will be leaving space between cars. Please do not park in the front lot by
the entrances.
★ Your trunk should be supervised at all times. The PTA or school is not
responsible for any items lost or stolen if you leave your car unattended.
★ Optional: Each host family can mark a child’s admission ticket with initials or a
stamp when they visit your trunk so that you know you have already treated
them.

Reminder - Fun Pasta Fundraiser

Our Fun Pasta Fundraiser will be wrapping up by next week.
We'd love to have all paper orders by Friday, October 17th. If you need a little extra time, we can accept late orders by Monday, October 20th.
Online orders will be accepted until Wednesday, October 23rd.
If you haven't set up an online storefront for your child to collect orders from long distance friends and relatives, you can set up their personal page via the QR code on the brochure or by going to the following website:
https://www.funpastafundraising.com/signup/FZXP
You will be given your own personal link to share with neighbors, friends, and co-workers.
If you do not wish to create an account, but wish to order some shapes and specialty items not listed on the brochure, please use this PTA link to place your order:
https://funpastafundraising.com/2025-fall-j.f-cooper-elementary-school/j.f.-cooper-pta
Every sale helps support our school and gets us closer to our fundraising goals for the year.
35-50% of purchases directly support our fundraising efforts!
Thank you in advance for your support! We appreciate you!
If you have any questions feel free to read out to michelle.pacitti@jfcooperpta.org.
