Hello Claypit Hill Caregivers,


As an important reminder: The district is hosting an important evening at Wayland High School TONIGHT where district leaders and parents will reflect on the book, The Anxious Generation by John Haidt.


When: Tuesday, October 22, 2024 - TONIGHT!

Time: 7:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m.

Where: Wayland High School


As Wayland, and so many districts like ours, grapple with the impact of cell phones, social media, and technology on student mental health, we invite you to an evening of community to learn, discuss, and share.


The evening will begin with a short overview of The Anxious Generation, a best-selling book that explores the impact of smartphones, social media, and technology on children’s mental health. We will then break into smaller groups by level to hear Wayland district administrators and principals share their perspectives and experience as school leaders. Finally, we’ll spend a majority of the meeting engaging in discussion with parents on key themes raised in the book.


Click HERE to access resources related to the topics that we will discuss. You need not have read the book in order to participate. As the caregivers of elementary aged children NOW is the time to begin thinking about technology and the role it will play in your child’s life. We promise that this evening will provide lots of food for thought and a network of support. We sincerely hope you’ll join us.


Sincerely,

Marie, Kate and Naomi

The Amazing Nano Brothers, a resident program of the Museum of Science, presents a comedy show all about the mysteries of matter - including atoms, molecules, and nanotechnology.
