The Balance Project is hosting a private screening of “Screenagers: Growing up in the digital age” on 5/28 in Fair Haven.
In this award-winning documentary, director Delaney Rustin opens the doors to her own family life and meets with others to explore the messy struggles over social media, video games, and internet addiction.
Through poignant and unexpectedly humorous stories, paired with surprising insights from leading experts, Screenagers: Growing Up in the Digital Age reveals how screens are shaping kids’ development.
Most importantly, it offers actionable solutions to help adults empower kids to navigate the digital age and find balance.
We hope you can help us to spread the word - teens and parents of children of all ages are welcome - we hope this can help to foster a deeper conversation in our community around what makes sense for our kids.

Dear Little Silver Schools Community,
As partners in the education and safety of our kids, I wanted to make you aware of a social media trend that has gained some popularity among kids all over the country. Students throughout the country are sticking paper clips, push pins, and graphite pencils into the Chromebook ports trying to short them out. If shorted successfully, the device may go up in smoke/fire causing a hazard for students/families and become damaged beyond repair. More importantly, as the device's battery shorts, it may release enough toxic smoke to fill a classroom or home and trigger the fire alarms. Here is a recent news report about it:
https://www.nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/connecticut-high-schools-evacuated-chromebooktiktoktrend/3559659/utm_content=332251493&utm_medium=social&utm_source=linkedin&hss_channel=lcp-11531394
Most importantly, we are sharing this for safety reasons to make sure you are aware at home. Secondly, I wanted to make you aware that if a student does this in school, we will take it very seriously because it impacts overall student safety. Not only will there be serious consequences and the obligation to pay for the Chromebook, but the police will also be informed as they have asked us to report any such incident.
Working together we can all ensure that this trend doesn't gain any momentum in our schools.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.
Be well,
Eric Platt
Superintendent
