2025-2026 School Year
"Kids and the Tech/Life Balance"
- January 28, 2026 from 7:00-8:30pm. This event will take place virtually.
Now more than ever, technology plays a vital role in all our lives. It keeps us connected and can educate, illuminate and entertain. With increased use, kids can develop an unhealthy dependence on tech as an escape or way to avoid life’s challenges.
Gaming, social media, and streaming entertainment can be fun and relaxing, but moderation can easily slide toward dependence. We’ll provide strategies to help our kids develop a healthy relationship with technology, and skills to practice self-care.

- “Solutions for Anxiety in a Culture of Instant Gratification” - March 11, 2026
Please stay tuned for more information. Questions? Please email Communications@gvsd.org.
