Principal's Message
Hello EAMS Students and Families:
This week, as an administrative team, we took a look at a recent document released by the Wisconsin Office of Children’s Mental Health on the effects of screen time. I have attached it here for your
information
.
What stood out to us was discrepancy between the amount of sleep we think teens get versus what they actually report and the amount of teens that spend four or more hours on a device daily.
As a school, we are going to use this information to guide our practices going forward. The ease of use, collaborative opportunities, and instantaneous information that devices provide at school will continue to help us meet our goals. However, are there ways we can cut down on screen time as we continue to teach cooperative and collaborative skills? We will dissect that question and work towards ensuring that screen time is impactful.
Thank you and have a great weekend!
Ryan McBurney
Principal
