It's Digital Citizenship Week!
REMINDER - TOMORROW 10/17/18 IS A FULL DAY OF SCHOOL!!
Take the #DeviceFreeDinner Challenge with us!
As part of our K-5 digital citizenship work, students are taught that it is important to balance screen time with other activities.
We are asking families to please join us in celebrating this balanced approach with a #DeviceFreeDinner. Please refrain from allowing your child(ren) any screen time on this day, and remember, on all other days there is no substitute for actively monitoring your child's use of technology.
JC teachers will not send home iPads or assign any homework that requires the use of a device tomorrow, Wednesday October 17th, 2018.
Send pictures of your #unplugged night to Mrs. Brush (brenda_brush@greenwich.k12.ct.us) and look for your family to be featured on our JC Twitter feeds!

Media Tips for Parents
Reminder - Save the Date
Many of our young students are on social media and playing multiplayer online games. It is so very important that you know how this impacts your child and his/her safety.
Central Middle School will be hosting an Internet/Technology Safety Parent Workshop with Guest Speaker Katie Greer on Tuesday, October 30th from 7:00 - 8:30 pm in the CMS Auditorium.
Katie LeClerc Greer is the former Internet Safety Program Coordinator for the Massachusetts Attorney General’s Office, and former Intelligence Analyst for the Massachusetts State Police, where she was assigned to the Missing Children Clearinghouse. Her nationally recognized Internet/technology safety programs have been delivered to thousands of students, parents, school staff and law enforcement agencies around the country and have been featured in USA Today, Vanity Fair Magazine and on CNN.
If your child is on social media or plays games like Fortnite please attend this event.
