If possible, we kindly ask that appointments be scheduled after 11:00 AM on testing days. This helps ensure students have the time they need to fully complete their assessments without feeling rushed.
Thank you for your support in helping our students succeed, we know they’re going to do great!
Wait Until 8th is a parent‑led pledge that helps families delay giving their child a smartphone until at least the end of 8th grade. The goal isn’t to avoid technology, it’s to give kids more time to develop focus, social skills, and healthy habits before navigating smartphones and social media. The pledge works by building strength in numbers. When families in the same grade commit together, kids feel less pressure to be “the only one without a phone.”
Voluntary and family‑driven
Allows basic phones or smartwatches for calls/texts
Backed by growing research on child development and screen use
