One of the administrations’ goals at Hazelwood Elementary is to connect with families and learn what is most important about your children’s educational experience. Join Principal Gasaway for an open forum style dialogue in the school library.
Last year, Hazelwood hosted two successful showings of the Screenagers documentary series—powerful films that explore the impact of screens (phones, tablets, smartwatches, and more) on children and teens today. Families and staff engaged in thoughtful conversations about building healthy digital habits and supporting students in a screen-filled world.
We are excited to offer one final opportunity for families and community members to join us this school year to watch Screenagers.
Family Roundtable Discussion (30 minutes) will be following the screenings, we will come together for a guided conversation to:

Reflect on key takeaways
Share ideas and questions
