Family Tech Night Was A Hit!

Our interactive Family Tech Night was a wonderful evening.  To begin, students played games in the gym while parents listed to our guest speaker, Andy McKiel, a Curriculum Coordinator for the SJASD.  Mr. McKiel spoke with parents about some high and low points of children's use of the internet, offered tips to parents on apps to be aware of, and showcased ways that schools are modeling for students responsible, ethical use of the internet.

For the remainder of the evening, families experienced a variety of stations where children and parents got to interact together using technology.  Check out some of the pictures we took!

Big thanks to Ms. Palsson and Ms. Dowd for spearheaded this event and to all of the teachers for coming out to support such valuable conversations with our families.

Today, the youngest student from each family is bringing home a list of apps that families might like to look at with their students.  All of them are free.  Enjoy!
