Exciting Opportunity During Parent-Teacher Conferences

We are excited to announce that we will be showing the documentary Screenagers during Parent-Teacher Conferences on Tuesday, March 11, and Wednesday, March 13.

Screenagers explores the impact of screen time on kids and offers practical strategies for navigating this digital age. It’s a powerful resource for families looking to strike a healthy balance with technology at home and school.

Showtimes:

• March 11: 6:00 p.m.
• March 13: 5:00 p.m.
  Location: Jayhawk-Linn High School

We encourage all parents and guardians to take advantage of this opportunity. You are welcome to attend while waiting for conferences or plan a time to join us.

We want to work together to support our students in becoming responsible digital citizens.

SCREENAGERS: Growing Up in The Digital Age has been screened more than 8,000 times to 4 million people in more than 70 countries around the world.. With multiple screenings happening daily in communities across the globe, SCREENAGERS is the first feature documentary to explore the impact of screen technology on kids and offer parents and families proven solutions that work. What started out as a personal story for one has grown into a national movement, helping millions of teens and their families navigate growing up in a world with instant access to screens.

We are excited to announce that Reality U is just around the corner, and we are looking for volunteers to make this event a success. Reality U is a financial literacy program for middle and high school students that helps them understand the challenges of adulthood. The program uses a 75-minute simulation to teach students how their current choices can impact their future.If you are interested in volunteering or would like more information, please contact Stephanie Nichols at snichols@usd346.org or 913-795-2247.
