Technology Presentation - A message from Superintendent Nolin


I want to personally invite you to an upcoming forum hosted by the Office of Family Engagement including NPS mental health staff, educators from preschool through high school, our Newton Police safety partners, the technology department and the offices of special education and social work. This panel discussion will be held at Oak Hill Middle School auditorium on Thursday, December 12, 2024 6:30pm. I will serve as the moderator of this panel of professionals and know that you will walk away with tips for supporting healthy children and suggestions for technology use and holiday buying given all we are doing as a community to limit cell and device use by our students. Join us!
