Here are some ways to talk about Media Balance at home!
10 days ago, Ashley Needham
ood news:  Your kid is learning about media balance! What does that mean? They're learning to …  "Pause for people" and stop using devices when someone wants to talk.  Know when it's time to move their bodies and go outside to play. Turn off screens before bedtime. Ask before they use a device, and stay on trusted sites and apps. Listen to their feelings and tell an adult if something makes them uncomfortable.Check out the music video featuring our favorite digital citizenship friends!                   Watch it together (turn on captions so you can see the lyrics), and sing along!                  https://www.commonsense.org/education/videos/media-balance-is-important

Help Kids Balance Their Media Lives From phones and tablets to streaming movies and YouTube, tech and media are everywhere. Kids love easy access to shows, games, and information. Parents and caregivers love that kids can learn on the go (and stay busy when dinner's cooking). But it's easy to overdo it when the phone never stops pinging and the next episode plays automatically. Families can keep media and tech use in check by following a few simple practices. Check out these 5 tips | | Create screen-free times and zones. Help kids take breaks from tech by limiting screen time in bedrooms, during study time, or at the dinner table. | | Try parental controls. Set content limits that make sense for your family. Alongside conversations about healthy media habits, use features such as content filtering, privacy settings, and time limits offered by the apps and platforms your family uses to help manage access and exposure to media. | | Establish clear family rules. Decide together what kind of media and tech is OK -- and when it's OK to use it. A family media plan can help get everyone on the same page. | | Watch and play together. Choose quality, age-appropriate media to enjoy with your kids. Visit commonsensemedia.org to find shows, games, and more. Help kidsidentify healthy behaviors. Practice talking about feelings -- both physical and emotional -- during screen and non-screen activities.

What is the difference in truancy and chronically absent?
Chronically absent counts all absences: excused, unexcused, and suspensions and has a high negative impact on school success. Students who miss more than 10% of the school year are considered chronically absent.
Truancy is unexcused absences only. Families who continue to be truant will be required to attend a meeting with school officials and possibly a court appearance.

Read this flyer from Common Sense Education about how to Pause and Think while being online.
24 days ago, Ashley Needham
     There are lots of things to think about when it comes to being a responsible digital citizen. At school               your kid is learning all about it, and now they can show you what they know! They're learning to ...  Pause and think before searching, clicking, or sharing.  Be kind online. Find balance using media and tech. Pay attention to their feelings to make sure they feel safe and know when to stop. Stand up to online bullies. Carefully choose the digital footprints — like posts, pictures, and comments — they leave behind.                   Check out the music video featuring our favorite digital citizenship friends!
