Dear IMS Families,

We are excited to invite you to register for our upcoming Digital Wellness Webinars and Roundtables as part of Mercer Island School District's MI Phone-Free Schools. These sessions, developed in collaboration with Scroll By Choice, will help families build healthy relationships with technology at home. From social media to email use, these sessions – offered at no cost to you – will cover a wide range of topics, empowering adults to model positive digital habits.
