👉Attention Elementary PTA leaders, current and new!
💻📱 Receive a $25 Gift Card & Learn About National PTA’s Ready, Tech, Go! Program! 🎁

Parenting in the digital age can be challenging. Families today are faced with important decisions about technology use, online safety, screen time, and determining when children are ready for their first device.

🤝 National PTA and AT&T have partnered to help parents and caregivers navigate these challenges through the Ready, Tech, Go! program.

📚 PTA leaders are invited to participate in a FREE 30-minute training designed to:
✅ Provide information on online safety and screen readiness
✅ Prepare your PTA to host a program in your local community
✅ Share resources for elementary-aged families and caregivers

🎁 Participants will receive a $25 gift card for attending! No obligation.

❤️ In addition, Alabama PTA will receive a donation from National PTA based on the number of Alabama participants who attend the training.

📝 When registering, please indicate that you heard about this opportunity through Alabama PTA by marking you heard it from "State PTA".
