Subject: A more joyful summer starts with a simple plan
Dear families,
As we head into summer, we know this season can bring a lot of good: more time together, more flexibility, and more space to rest.
But it can also be a bit tricky when it comes to screens.
Without the structure of the school year, screen time can easily become the default. That’s why we want to support you with a simple approach to help your family stay connected, creative, and balanced this summer.
Try This: Make a Family Summer Plan
Set aside 20-30 minutes this week for a family summer planning conversation.
Keep it simple:
Ask: What do we want more of this summer? (e.g., time outside, friends, rest, creativity)
Decide together on a few screen expectations (like screen-free meals or no screens before a certain time)
Let your child choose one personal goal for the summer
Use the JOMO Family Summer Guide for simple ideas to spark connection, creativity, and real-life fun.
Print a copy of the Joyful Summer Plan for each of your kids (and yourself!) to set their own summer goals.
BONUS: A Small Reminder That Helps
You can also download these phone wallpapers to give your family a gentle, daily reminder to stay focused on what matters most.
Want more ideas? Check out JOMO(campus) for Families for more ways to help your kids and teens find balance this summer.
The goal isn’t a screen-free summer. It’s a summer full of what really matters.
We’re cheering you on as you head into a joyful, connected season together.
Warmly,
[School Name]

Subject Line: Protecting your Attention this Summer
Dear Staff,
As we head into summer, we want to thank you for the care, attention, and energy you’ve poured into students this year.
More and more, schools are recognizing the importance of digital well-being—protecting our attention in a world full of distractions and helping students build healthier relationships with technology.
Digital well-being isn’t just about individual habits, it’s about building a culture where attention, presence, and real-world connection are valued.
Summer is a wonderful chance to experience a little more of that ourselves.
And what better way to do it than through a playful mini challenge? Here is a Joyful Summer BINGO Card with simple and fun ideas to try over the break—things you can do on your own, with a partner, or with your family. They’re small ways to unplug, recharge, and enjoy the moments that summer offers.
As a small extra, you’ll find a set of phone wallpapers with gentle reminders to stay present and focused on what matters most throughout the summer.
There’s nothing required and nothing to report back on—it’s simply for you.
For those who like a challenge, anyone who completes the BINGO card and brings it back at the start of our school year will have a small surprise waiting for them. Partial completion might earn some accolades, too!
We hope it adds a little extra joy to your summer.
Wishing you a restful and well-deserved break.
