MI Phone-Free Schools: Webinars and Roundtables

Dear MISD Families,

We are excited to invite you to register for our upcoming Digital Wellness Webinars and Roundtables as part of Mercer Island School District's MI Phone-Free Schools. These sessions, developed in collaboration with Scroll By Choice, will help your family build healthy relationships with technology at home. From social media to email use, these sessions – offered at no cost to you – will cover a wide range of topics, empowering adults to model positive digital habits. We have webinars and roundtables for both IMS and MIHS families. 

Benefits of Attending:

• Understand why many struggle with device use (doomscrolling, anyone?), learn strategies to reclaim control and track your own progress over time.
• Connect with other MISD families to share strategies and best practices that work.

Choose What Works for You!
