SAVE THE DATE!
On Sunday, July 31, after your student's service hour, we are hosting a 6th grade Parent Open House. This is a great opportunity for you to meet your student's small group leaders. Our small group leaders and staff will also be available to help answer any questions about 6th grade camp.

Technology and Cell Phones
Your students will have to deal with the good and the bad that technology offers. It’s a different world than we grew up in and one that we’re still learning to navigate as adults. Andy Stanley sat down and gave us advice on how best to prepare our students for the challenges that come along with technology and smartphones.
Additional Recommendations
Transit recommends Circle. It’s the simplest and most flexible technology monitoring product we’ve found that covers most devices and allows us to pick the right options for different ages and stages. Circle monitors all of these devices by “coupling” with your wireless router. Though this doesn’t cover devices using data connections, it’s a good start for the family.
