Event Details

Got questions about your child’s tech use at school? You’re not alone - and we’ve got answers.

Join us for an open, parent-focused conversation with leading voices in digital safety: Nicki Petrossi, Chris McKenna, Emily Cherkin, and Andy Liddell. This is not a formal presentation—it's your chance to ask real questions and get practical, no-fluff advice on how to protect your kids in a tech-heavy classroom.

We’ll answer as many of your questions as possible, including:

  • What rights do parents actually have when it comes to school technology?

  • What should I ask my school about EdTech tools and data privacy?

  • How is AI showing up in my kid’s classroom—and should I be concerned?

  • Why are students still exposed to explicit content on school devices, and what can I do about it?

  • What’s the mental health impact of constant screen use at school, and how do I advocate for balance?

Plus, we’ll share ready-to-use tools: conversation starters for your next meeting with school staff, opt-out templates, and tech-safety checklists for the new school year.

Bring your questions, concerns, and curiosity. This is a conversation with parents, not just for them.
