We know technology plays a growing role in students’ lives — whether it’s A.I., texting, gaming, or simply hearing about social media and devices from friends or siblings. That’s why we take a thoughtful, age-appropriate approach to helping students build healthy, high-character habits they can carry into any situation, both online and offline.

We are excited to announce that our Lincoln Middle School has launched a partnership with The Social Institute (TSI), a leader in empowering students, families, and educators to navigate their learning and well-being – including A.I., social media, and devices – in healthy ways. Almost all 6th grade students will have the opportunity to take an elective class this year that helps them be better prepared to use technology responsibly!

No matter your child’s current tech use — whether they use devices and apps regularly or are just beginning to ask questions — the resources offered through this partnership are designed to be flexible and family-friendly.

As your child’s school, we’re honored to be your partner on this journey. We understand that each household has its own values and approach to technology — and we fully respect that. This program is not about prescribing rules or parenting strategies. It’s about offering ideas and tools that you can use in whatever way fits your family best.

We’re grateful to offer this timely education to our school community. If you have any questions or thoughts, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

September is Attendance Awareness Month. This year's theme, "Your Presence Matters," highlights the important role that every student, every family, and every school staff member plays in creating a culture of belonging and engagement.
