🎤🎧 New Podcast Alert!

Mark your calendars! The next episode of the Stratford Public Schools Podcast: From Forest to Shore airs October 23rd at 8:00 AM and we're tackling a topic on everyone's mind: the district's cell phone policy! 🗣️

Join us as we talk with Dr. Phil Piazza and Dr. Diana DiIorio about the policy's main goals, which are all about creating a focused, inclusive, and productive learning environment for every student. We discuss:

📱The need to balance technology with learning.
📱The positive changes we're seeing in classrooms and hallways.
📱How limiting device access helps students build crucial social skills and emotional resilience.
📱The importance of authentic, face-to-face communication and collaboration.

This policy isn't about banning technology—it's about teaching our students to use devices as tools rather than toys! 🛠️

Listen on 10/23 to get informed, feel connected, and be inspired by the work shaping the future of our students. Link in bio!
