Start the school year with healthy screen habits!

Screen Time Reset 📱 A new school year is the perfect time for a screen time reset. Start fresh with healthy screen habits that support sleep, learning, connection and balance.

Here’s how:
👀 Set clear expectations — Make sure everyone knows when, where and how screens can be used.

🍽️ Create screen-free times — Try meals, homework time or bedtime as opportunities to unplug and connect.

⚖️ Talk about balance — It’s not just about setting limits. Talk about making time for sleep, school, friends, family, activities and time offline, too.

Small changes can make a big difference. Start the school year with healthy screen habits! 🔗 Get more tips: https://bit.ly/47f2ALL

🚨 BOIL WATER ORDER – CITY OF SOUTH HEART 🚨

The City of South Heart is under a Boil Water Order due to a loss of pressure in the drinking water distribution system. The loss of pressure creates the potential for contamination of the water supply.

Until further notice:

DO NOT drink tap water without boiling it first.
Bring water to a boil for at least 1 minute, then allow it to cool before use.
Use boiled or bottled water for drinking, making ice, brushing teeth, washing dishes, and food preparation.
Only bottled water should be used to prepare infant formula.

The City is working to restore water pressure and will flush the system and collect water samples to ensure the water is safe.

📢 Residents will be notified when the Boil Water Order has been lifted.

Please share this information with neighbors, businesses, and others who may not receive this notice directly.
