As part of our Protect the Nest initiative, Azle ISD partnered with Protect Young Eyes to help our students and families build a safer and healthier digital environment. During the week of November 17, members of the Protect Young Eyes team visited the district, presenting valuable resources and information to our students and families.
Chris McKenna - CEO and Founder, led two parent workshops at the Azle ISD Administration Building. His sessions focused on digital discernment, creating a safe and balanced digital environment at home, and protecting our Azle ISD nest! He offered real-world solutions, smart strategies, and tips parents can use to create a tech-ready home.
Isaac Crawford - Digital Wellness Specialist, visited all 11 campuses, speaking 26 times with students in grades K–12. Each presentation addressed the challenges faced by the different age groups, ranging from basic safety concepts for younger students to digital identity, AI, and online pressure for older students.
Protect Young Eyes is recognized nationwide for its practical, research-based work in helping kids stay safe online. Their team presents to parents, students, and educators across the country, sharing tools and tips for online safety, mental health, and responsible technology use.
