Our counseling staff at Powell Middle School gathers helpful tips & information concerning Digital Wellness. Here is September's article of focus:
Technology is a powerful tool for learning, connection and creativity, but without boundaries, it can quietly take over daily life. Research shows that students who have clear, consistent tech guidelines at school and at home often have better focus in class, stronger relationships and healthier sleep patterns.
Powell Middle School Digital Device Policy: Students may not use personal cell phones or other communication devices on campus from 7:30 a.m.–3:25 p.m. (or 7:30 a.m.–12:45 p.m. on Fridays) unless given express staff permission or during an emergency. This includes texting.
Why it matters: Even quick phone checks can disrupt focus, reduce memory, and make it harder to re-engage in learning. Limiting phone use helps protect attention and build healthy habits.
At home, you may try:
Creating screen-free zones (bedrooms, dinner table)
Setting a digital curfew before bed
Modelling balanced tech use
