Best wishes to everyone for a nice break! We look forward to seeing you in the new year at our Screenagers event. Also, it's not too late to contribute to the PTSO Annual Appeal before the end of the year! Please see below for details.

Save the Date! Screenagers: Growing Up in the Digital Age showing on Jan. 7

Parents and students are invited to a free showing of Screenagers: Growing Up in the Digital Age on Tuesday, Jan. 7 at 7 p.m. in the Belmont High School auditorium. This event is hosted by the Belmont High School PTSO.

Screenagers (updated in 2024) is an award-winning documentary that looks at the impact of screen technology on kids. It features personal stories from families, depicting the messy struggles that parents, tweens, and teens are having over social media, video games, academics and screen addiction. Through interviews with parenting authors and brain scientists, the film offers ideas on how adults can help kids navigate the digital world in a healthy way. 

This is a community event and open to all Belmont parents and caregivers. Adults are encouraged to bring their middle school and high school-aged students. The film runs 60 minutes and will be followed by a discussion with the audience. Doors will open at 6:45 p.m.
