Resetting & Leveling Up
A Week Away From Our Devices
8th Grade Families,
During the week of November 9th, we'll be asking our 8th graders to go as personal device free as possible. This event is optional & not a requirement for school.
As students navigate their daily lives we are constantly encouraging balance & flexibility to find school success. This experience will be shared with school staff who also choose to participate & some students who participate will document their journey to share with others at Peacock Middle School.
This event is optional & not a requirement for school.
What do I need to do now?
- If you think your child would be interested in participating -- complete survey linked here by November 8th.
- Please do not share information about this with your student yet as we'll be revealing this at Peacock the first week of November
- More details about this experience will be shared in the November family newsletter that will be emailed home on Friday, November 6th
