• Pioneer going screen-free in preschool through second grade classrooms (recorder.com) — Families in Bernardston should expect preschool through second grade classrooms at Bernardston Elementary to go fully screen-free by January, as the Pioneer Valley Regional School District removes laptops and tablets. District leaders and local principals say the move aims to boost writing skills, MCAS performance, and children’s well-being, while older students will still use technology but with reduced screen time and more hands-on learning.
