In today’s world, technology plays a powerful and growing role in our children’s lives — whether it’s navigating social media, managing screen time, encountering A.I., or communicating with friends through texting and gaming.

That’s why we’re proud to share that Murray City School District has launched a partnership with The Social Institute (TSI), a leader in empowering students, families, and educators to navigate their learning and well-being – including A.I., social media, and devices – in healthy ways.

We understand that each household has its own values and approach to technology — and we fully respect that. This programming is not about prescribing rules or parenting strategies. It’s about offering ideas and tools that you can use in whatever way fits your family best. No matter your child’s current tech use, the resources offered are designed to be flexible and family-friendly.
