Upcoming Events
Beginning in February, Ridgefield Academy and Landmark Preschool will be hosting the first in a series of tech-related parent workshops focused on:
Digital citizenship and online safety
The role of AI and emerging technologies in learning
How technology supports (not replaces) inquiry and creativity
Tools and platforms your children use at school
Strategies for healthy tech habits at home
These sessions are designed to both support families and deepen alignment between home and school. Please mark your calendar for our upcoming division-specific session(s). Registration details will be shared in the coming weeks.
Session #1
Intentional Tech: Parenting in the Digital Age
DESCRIPTION:
Raising children in a digital world can feel overwhelming—when to say yes, when to say no, and how to strike the right balance without over- or under-correcting. In this session, we’ll partner with families and a digital health and wellness strategist, Ratosha McBride, to explore what current research tells us about children, technology, and development. Together, we’ll consider practical guardrails, systems, and shared language to support healthy habits at home and at school—helping families feel more confident and aligned in their approach to digital life. This session will be hands-on and experiential, developmentally aligned to specific divisions, and instantly applicable to you and your family.
Lower School: Tuesday | February 10 | 6:00 - 7:30 PM
Middle & Upper School: Tuesday | February 17 | 6:00 - 7:30 PM
Presenter: Ratosha McBride
Please note this is an in-person event.

On Tuesday, February 24, at 7:30 PM, join members of the RA faculty and staff at the Ridgefield Playhouse for an engaging evening with #1 New York Times bestselling author and parenting expert Dr. Becky Kennedy. This event promises to be a lively, insight-packed conversation on children’s emotions, boundary-setting, and the realities of imperfect parenting. We’re especially excited to continue the conversation on campus with a Coffee & Conversation (date to be confirmed), where parents, faculty & staff can reflect on takeaways from the “millennial parent whisperer” together.
