Join the Wait Until 8th Movement

Our PTO proudly supports the Wait Until 8th pledge — a national movement that empowers parents to delay giving children a smartphone until at least the end of 8th grade.

By banding together, families can reduce the social pressure to give kids smartphones too early and help protect the elementary and middle school years from unnecessary distractions and online risks. When at least 10 families in the same grade at our school pledge, the commitment becomes active — creating a built-in community of support.

More than 145,000 parents across the country have already said “yes” to waiting. If you’re interested in joining other families in our school community, we encourage you to learn more and take the pledge.

Childhood is too short to spend on a smartphone. Let’s wait together.
