Technology is part of our children’s world. But at Seven Peaks, we believe it should serve learning, not compete with it.
In our middle school, technology is a targeted tool, not a constant presence. Students use digital tools when they add value, while plenty of learning still happens through books, discussion, hands-on experiences, paper and pencil, collaboration, and simply being present with one another.
We’re intentional about helping students become digitally capable without becoming digitally dependent. That includes learning how to evaluate information, communicate responsibly, navigate AI, and develop healthy technology habits.
It’s an approach that aligns with the important work of local organization Well Wired, founded by Seven Peaks parents Ami Formica and Brooke Mues, who advocate for healthy, intentional technology use for Central Oregon kids.
The goal isn’t less technology. It’s better technology use.
