Mehlville High School leadership students will speak with parents from 6:30 to 7 p.m., followed by Julie Smith, an instructor of media communications and digital literacy at Webster University.

The speaker series is designed to engage parents in the traits identified in the district’s Portrait of a Graduate description of traits it wants students to graduate with: Creative and Critical Thinker, Self Aware, Persistent, Communicator and Ethical and Global Citizen.

Smith will focus on the “Communicator” trait and discuss apps children are using.
