Oakton Elementary Wait Until 8th
Oakton Elementary Wait Until 8th
Do you know about The Wait Until 8th pledge? It empowers parents to rally together to delay giving children a smartphone until at least the end of 8th grade. More than 130,000 parents have said yes to waiting on the smartphone for their families.
We are excited that Oakton Elementary is officially registered with Wait Until 8th. If you'd like to join the movement, please take the pledge!
