How can I help my student have a healthy relationship with technology?

Healthy Technology Habits

The district is often asked, as a parent or guardian, how can I help my student have a healthy relationship with technology? A resource we direct parents and guardians to is Common Sense Media. They have information on a variety of topics, including:

• Cellphones
• Screen Time
• Privacy and Online Safety
• Social Media
• Cyberbullying
• Technology Addiction

We encourage parents and guardians to do the following:

• Talk to your student about how they use technology (school and personal)
• Have rules about where technology can be used at home
• Have a place to store devices outside the bedroom at night
• Most importantly, gradually introduce students to technology and its great responsibility

• Keeping Your Student’s Technology Use Safe
• Is there a way for me to check my student’s online behavior?
• What is the district doing to protect my student’s information and data privacy?
• How do teachers manage classroom computers?
