Registrations for Spring Enrichment are postponed until further notice due to the recently announced school closures.  We will update everyone as we get more information.

On January 21, 2020 the PTA hosted a presentation and discussion on digital citizenship for parents and other caregivers, with librarian Mr. Michael Zetterberg.  Meeting materials are available here.  

In addition, parents discussed other tips and tricks for managing kids’ devices and screentime at home.   This “How to” guide may be helpful to families, along with other topics and materials on the Common Sense Media website.
