Roanoke County Public Schools is encouraging parents to attend four important community meetings this fall concerning student safety and mental health issues.
Three meetings, in cooperation with the Partnership for Community Wellness, will be held concerning the dangers of cellphone use among elementary, middle and high school students. Today’s digital world is full of threats including dangerous apps disguised as harmless games, online predators, social media addiction, and relentless cyberbullying. Parents will learn exactly what to look for — and how they can fight back with powerful tools and expert-backed strategies to reclaim control over their child’s digital life and guard their mental and emotional health in a tech-driven world.
Excessive device use is rewiring young brains, disrupting sleep, fueling anxiety, and lowering academic success. The damage is happening now — and it’s deeper than most parents realize.
