Klingler Road will be closed next week when construction crews begin tearing out the old road in preparation for a complete rebuild of the road that borders the west side of campus.

With new evidence showing a majority of young children in the United States use personal technology such as smartphones and tablets, it is important that parents ensure technology is not overtaking time for talking, reading, and other verbal communication—which are the primary ways that children learn.
