As part of practising Digital Wellness, parents of students K-12 recently joined Justin Medved, Director of Learning Innovation and Technology and Elissa Kline-Beber, Director of Wellness to an evening session on fostering digital citizenship and wellness. They discussed how The York School takes a whole school approach to developing healthy digital habits and skills in our students as they navigate an increasingly interconnected world. The session addressed issues such as:
  • limiting digital distraction
  • managing gaming
  • promoting healthy sleep habits
