Who we are and what unites us
ScreenWise Ann Arbor is an alliance of parents, teachers, and community members created in the fall of 2025.
Some of us are seeking community and mutual support. Others are raising our voices for making things better.
We are introverts and extroverts. We represent diverse cultural backgrounds and political views. Some of us love using tech. Others are digital minimalists. Most are somewhere in between.
What unites us is that we love our kids. We want them to thrive—to grow, learn, be healthy, and build real friendships and life skills.
When technology gets in the way of these things, we’re willing to say: Not so fast. Let’s be sensible. Let’s make technology work for us, rather than the other way around.
The momentum is growing for phone-free schools!
Our call for bell-to-bell phone free schools in AAPS attracted the support of
Over 1,100 parents, teachers, and community members
Over 100 teachers from across the district
Parents from 27 different schools in the district
