Monthly Digital Citizenship Message: 
Inspire conversations as a family about safe and positive tech use with Family Tech Planners.
Screen time has become an important issue for families. Entertainment and tech have the potential to spark meaningful conversations about how we use technology and how much technology we use on a day-to-day basis. 


Utilizing family tech planners are a great way to help your kids manage their screen time and come up with a shared understanding with your kids of how your family makes the most out of entertainment and tech time.
To find tech planners for children of all ages, visit https://tinyurl.com/csdtechplan. Spanish versions of tech plans are also available on this website.
