Partnering with families is essential for student success—and their digital-well-being.

We know. Kids are constantly using devices in and out of school for learning and connection—meanwhile, the adults in their lives are trying to keep pace. That's why our whole-community approach to digital citizenship helps to create a shared language and reinforce lessons in everything from online safety to digital well-being. 

We get it! Families—and educators—are busy. Common Sense makes it easy to address everyday media and tech concerns in the ways that work best for the families in your community. Whether it's at a family event or in your parent communications, we provide expert, research-backed tips and tools (in English and Spanish) for you to share.
