All parents and adult community members are invited to join us for a presentation by Dr. Adam Pletter, clinical psychologist and iParent 101 creator.

Screens and technology are not going away, so as parents/guardians we need to find the BALANCE and promote digital wellness at home. Join us to learn practical information about using positive technology tools, modeling tech breaks, setting boundaries, and managing the impact of multiple screens.

Our Virtual Speaker Series continues with the first speaker of the 2024-25 school year on October 8th!
