Core Connection: Lightspeed Parent Controls Workshop
The initially planned AI Family Guide Core Connection conversation is being rescheduled to January 20 due to team availability. In its place, families are invited to join Matt Langes, Director of Innovation & Learning, and Art Andersen, Director of IT, for a hands-on Core Connection focused on helping families better understand and use Lightspeed Parent Controls.
The session will include a brief overview of how the tool works, followed by workshop time for families to get set up, explore available settings, and ask questions.
Families are encouraged to bring their child’s District device, along with a personal phone or device they use at home. SAs and/or Technology Support Associates will be available throughout the session to provide individual support and help troubleshoot questions.
Outcome: Families will leave with a clearer understanding of Lightspeed Parent Controls, how to access and use available features, and how the tool can support conversations and expectations around technology use at home.
Event Details: October 21, 2026 from 6:00-7:00 p.m.
Location: Naperville North High School: Learning Commons
