Thinking about Back-to-School and managing technology? We're here for you with practical support!

Join Spark Kindness for a free, in-person film screening and panel discussion that explores how technology is impacting young children and how families and schools can work together to promote healthy, balanced screen use. This program is for parents, caregivers, and educators of elementary-aged children.

Topics include:

  • Technology use among elementary-aged students (smartwatches, tablets, phones, etc.)
  • Managing and monitoring video gaming
  • Social media pressures and early exposure
  • What research says about healthy screen time
  • Realistic, practical solutions for families and educators

After the film, a panel of local educators, school leaders, and school resource officers will answer your questions and share tools to help support children in today’s digital world.

Live ASL Interpretation will be provided at this event. Spark Kindness is committed to providing events that are accessible to all community members. Please contact us with accommodation questions at info@sparkkindness.org. Spark Kindness is an Autism Welcoming Organization.
