Parenting Young Children in the Digital Age: Technology Usage in a Post-Covid World | Jun 2nd

How can we help our children develop appropriate habits when using technology? 

Can we unwind the uptick in screen time resulting from the pandemic? 

Can my child navigate middle school without a smartphone? 

The Tokeneke PTO is hosting a panel discussion to address these questions and more and is inviting elementary school parents and children in fourth and fifth grade from across the district to attend on Thursday, June 2 at 7:00pm in the Tokeneke Common Room. 

Dr. Joan McGettigan, DPS Director of Instructional Technology, will discuss technology best practices and potential concerns, as well as parental controls on devices. 

In addition, OK-2-Delay’s Marty Hendrickson and Jacqueline Telgheder will present the parent perspective on smartphones and social media, along with Caroline Hendrickson (8th grader), Ava Telgheder (8th grader), and Cole Kim (7th grader) who will speak about their experience in middle school with respect to smartphones. 

Please RSVP here if you would like to attend. Any questions can be directed to Katherine.watts@gmail.com
