Attention Families: Wait Until 8th Program
The North Andover Parent Resource Network (NAPRN) is partnering with NAPS to host the Wait Until 8th speaker and movement. If you’re not familiar with this, it’s a movement aimed at encouraging parents/guardians to wait until 8th grade to give their children smartphones and social media. We are hosting this speaker in late January 2025, and are encouraging parents/guardians to join the movement.
Additional details and registration information will be available in January.
Please check out the NAPRN website at www.naparentresourcenetwork.org
