Every Day Counts! To help our families plan ahead and make the most of the upcoming school year, we've put together your ultimate vacation calendar. The reason we created this planner is because every single day in the classroom matters for your student's success. We want to help you plan your trips and appointments around our school calendar.

Life360 collects and processes over 85 billion locations daily, generating vast amounts of user data. Historically, this data was extensively monetized through third-party data brokers. Today, the company heavily utilizes its spatial analytics internally to power its own advertising networks and driving behavior services.

TRUCE is an alternative to Life 360. TRUCE gathers only two pieces of information from families: Name and Email Address. TRUCE NEVER sells this information to ANYONE. Parents can set parameters for their children’s phone usage, monitor their physical location and even receive information on their child’s driving performance.

We want to hear from you! Please provide us with your feedback based upon recent information shared about cell phones: https://forms.gle/eMqAbZVnDo3WxEvR6

Angela Duckworth’s research on cell phone restriction, notably the "Phones in Focus" study, emphasizes situation modification over willpower. She advocates for physical or mechanical systems that disable phone access during the school day.

In The Anxious Generation, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt argues that the shift from a play-based to a phone-based childhood has severely impacted youth mental health. Tech platforms and messaging apps use behavioral design to hook users, hijacking the brain's dopamine pathways to create addictive compulsion loops.
