The CWS Parent Association is thrilled to invite CWS parents to attend a premiere screening of the new documentary film Screenagers: Elementary School Age Edition on Sunday, October 6, from 6-8 pm at MadTree Brewing (3301 Madison Rd. in Oakley).

Screenagers: Elementary School Age Edition, the latest film in the award-winning Screenagers series, addresses many issues that elementary school-aged kids, parents, and educators are facing.
The film blends real-world examples and expert advice with the latest research and solutions for parents and educators, making it an essential watch for everyone looking to address and support mental wellbeing in the digital age.
The PA is grateful to MadTree Brewing for hosting this event, to Everyschool for partnering to provide support and resources for this event, and to Wait Until 8th for facilitating this screening opportunity.

**Important School Safety Announcement:
Each year the State of Ohio requires all schools to update and submit to the Ohio Department of Education (ODE) an Emergency Operation Plan. This year the ODE has created the Safer Ohio School Tip Line (844-723-3764). All Ohio schools are required to share this information with parents, students and faculty. Information about the official ODE tip line can be found on page 41 of the Revised CWS Family Handbook (Sept. 2024 Version). Please review so that you are familiar.
Additionally, students, faculty and parents can find a poster hanging in the CWS front office with the tip line phone number as well.
