Join us on either date as Dr. Crystal Collier from Smart Families presents valuable, research-based information on the impact of technology on children's brain development. This neuroscience-based presentation will equip you with practical tools to help your family make thoughtful choices about technology, no matter how old your child is.

Why This Matters

Smart Families mission is to honor the human dignity of every child and help them thrive—not just academically, but as whole people. When families work together to push back against the pressure of screens and distractions, we make more space for strong relationships and lasting values that align with our Christian beliefs.

Our Four Shared Norms

As part of this partnership, we invite every family to embrace these commitments:

  1. Prioritize your family and your values

  2. Delay smartphones until high school

  3. Delay social media until at least age 16

  4. Phone-free school day

ATTENDANCE EXPECTATION

We would love for at least one parent from every family attend one of these sessions. This parent education event is a priority for our school and essential to strengthening our home-school partnership.
