Information from Riverside's Parent Night:
Community Digital Education Event Information
There were over 100 parents who attended last week's Community Digital Event at Riverside. There were so many great discussions and questions focused on how to reach, teach, and support our i-generation youth. Check out the full video of the October 1st presentation, "How to reach, teach, and support igeneration youth", featuring Katey McPherson, National Internet Safety Expert, and Dr. Megan Smith, Founder of Communities for Youth and a professor at Boise State University. This video link will expire on November 8, 2024 so be sure to watch soon!
Additionally, here is a useful handout that was shared on 10/2: Guidelines for Families on Digital Media Use (created by Youth Mental Wellness Alliance), Katey McPherson slideshow, and Dr. Megan Smith slideshow. A big thank you to Tara Coffland for helping organize this amazing event!

Cell Phone Policy
Dallas Harris is asking that students do not have phones out on school grounds before, during or after school. Students are allowed to keep their cell phones in their backpacks during the day. If SMART watches interfere with learning or are used during the day for calls, they will need to be kept in backpacks as well. for your support on this issue.
