Digital Well-Being

While understanding technology is essential in the modern world, we're equally mindful of its overuse among our youth.

As part of our MTS Into Action Strategic Plan, we aim to “actively nourish the mental, physical, and emotional needs that allow individuals and the collective to thrive,” and it is our priority to help support our students and families to develop a healthy relationship with technology for the well-being of all members of the community.  

Digital well-being was a theme in the 2023-24 school year and has remained an important focus ever since. We created the Family Technology Guidelines to provide community norms that help families develop and follow rules that align with other MTS families. We continue to review our use of educational technology and its alignment in a K-8 scope and sequence.
