Thank you to all parents that attended Notre Dame High School’s parent/guardian workshop called Changing the Mindset of Adolescents Using Cell Phones on June 4, 2024 (Tuesday). It was well attended and fostered a lot of dialogue. Our guest speakers were psychiatrist Dr. Brigitte Zrenner and neurologist Dr. Cristoph Zrenner, and they provided research and evidence about the harm that Smart Phones have on adolescent brains, such as increased anxiety and decreased ability to focus on school.
We hope to continue this dialogue with our parents/guardians and students as we head into the new 2024-2025 school. We are grateful to our Digital Wellness Team (C. Yarema, L.Zenni, P. Hathway, N. Pucci) and our parent representative J. Wellwood for organizing the event. In addition, thank you to our parent council for supporting the event for our parent community. We hope that this information will help your child’s academic success.
