Description

In a world where technology is ever-present, schools can’t afford to leave families out of the digital conversation. This session explores how one school turned a required Parent Technology Night into a powerful platform for partnership, education, and culture-building. Learn how we use this annual event to do more than just review Responsible Use Policies—we engage families with real talk about digital habits, safety, and school expectations.

From practical tips for managing devices at home to impactful presentations from law enforcement on the consequences of online behavior, this evening equips parents with tools and understanding. We’ll share how we frame this night as a support system—not a compliance meeting—and how it strengthens our school community.

Attendees will walk away with a framework for creating an engaging, supportive, and mission-aligned tech night that empowers parents and positively shapes student behavior. Whether you're launching your first event or looking to revamp a tired format, this session will provide strategies, sample resources, and inspiration.

Technology leaders, school administrators, instructions leaders, and digital citizenship coordinators will all find value in this session and find ways they can collaborate to create their own impactful event.
