Good morning, Nelson families!
Please see below a quick reminder about our parent and caregiver talk this week on Thursday, January 15, 7-8:30pm! Very few people registered, so if you plan to attend, please make sure you RSVP here, so we can decide whether or not to run it.
Have a great day!

Join Jessy Wollen, a Certified Sexual Health Educator, director of SHIFT Eduction, teacher with 16 years of experience, and a parent of three sons, as she facilitates a judgment-free space to discuss parenting with technology.
Tech Savvy Kids: Cultivating critical thinking skills in the age of distraction.
This is a chance to share the strategies that work for your family and the challenges you face. Caregivers are not alone in navigating the wonders and difficulties of life online. We will discuss openly communicating our values about technology and establishing practical ground rules—whether that involves managing screen time or navigating games like Minecraft and Fortnite.
With the new phone-free policy in BC schools, we are fostering language and skills to manage tech for learning. At home, managing tech for entertainment often feels overwhelming. On January 15th, let's reboot the conversation and discuss how to adapt, change, or alter how technology shows up in your home to suit your values. We will also review key concepts the students in Grades 3, 4, and 5 learned at school, from Jessy’s presentations held on Wednesday and Thursday, January 7th & 8th. Attend with your favourite person, a friend, a husband, wife, partner, co-parent to build out Lord Nelson values. We will be talking and workshopping ideas about how we create phone free spaces at home, rules like "tech out together then phone free together," and we will discuss how to talk about phone rules at playdates. What works for you, in your home?

See you on January 15th from 7:00 - 8:30 PM.
