What are Kids really doing on screens at school?

You are not alone.

While we wait for the district to change, what can we do now?

New action item:

Reach out to your SPS school board rep. Check out the simple step-by-step outline over on our Four Norms page where you can find out who your district director is and send them an email about why intentional technology in schools is important to you. We vote for them, so make sure they know what matters to you!

We are happy to report almost 1,000 supporters signed the Petition for Intentional EdTech Limits in Seattle Public Schools, which was shared with Superintendent Shuldiner and school board members at the April 22 SPS board meeting.

Up next: Getting organized for the new school year.

Collective Action: School Communities

We want to support you because we know it is easier to do when you don't feel alone.

We created a survey to collect basic data like your kid's school and grade, along with your contact information. We will then connect you with other families in the same school so you can share ideas and knowledge collaboratively, based in your school community. Whether you’re thinking of opting out or just want to be in the loop of school specific conversations, we invite you to participate and connect with other parents from your school who are thinking about these questions.

To participate, fill out this Family Connections Survey.

Again, this is not about no tech. This is about being a part of discerning what actually serves our kids’ education and decreasing the risk of harms.
