We are planning a variety of events for families to build community and educate ourselves about important technology use issues. These include monthly gatherings during the school year, as well as opportunities to speak with educators and other members of our local community. We will also include information about non-affiliated interesting local activities for families with kids of all ages! Please keep checking here for updates to the events schedule!

We hosted a panel discussion about the use of technology at Oakton Elementary this past May.
We're very excited to report that the event was a success! Thank you to all who attended.
Attendees included interested parents, experts working in our local school, and high school students sharing their experiences and insights. The panel was hosted by OES parent and Vienna native resident & sports coach Dale Van Wagner.
We dove into the struggles that parents face and how technology impacts their kids' lives. We believe that we achieved our goal for all in attendance to walk away feeling better informed in time for summer!
There's more to be done and we look forward to more opportunities this current school year.
