FREE FAMILY ACTIVITY
‘Amazing’ Book Club
Parents and TUFSD students in grades 3rd through 7th are invited to join us on Tuesday, June 2, at 6:30pm, in the Sleepy Hollow Middle School Library Media Center for screens-free activities and a discussion of The Amazing Generation: Your Guide to Fun and Freedom in a Screen-Filled World.

“My kid was so engaged, creative, happy…and then I got her a smartphone and everything changed.”
Join the movement of parents who pledge to wait until at least 8th grade to give their kids a smartphone and a social media account.
What We Do
awareness
IRL conversations and community activities that afford the opportunity to discuss the effects of devices, social media, and gaming on our children, ourselves, and our community
education
we collect, curate, and share information about digital tech so families can make informed decisions introducing different types of technology into their lives
support
we advise families who want to hold off on various technologies for their children, and we will provide information on smartphone alternatives
advocacy
we will advocate for policies for screen use both at home and at school, and we will use research to support those policies
Let Your Voice be Heard
We’ve created a resource for parents with observations and feedback (good or bad) about how technology is used in their child’s classroom. Visit Parent Voices to learn the best way to get your feedback in front of the right decision-maker.
