HeadsUp Horsemen

The HeadsUp Horsemen PTA Committee is dedicated to fostering screen-smart habits in Tarrytown & Sleepy Hollow schools and community. We rely on the support of parents, educators, and administrators to spread the word and make real, lasting change that supports our kids' learning and growth. 

What We Do

we collect, curate, and share information about digital tech so families can make informed tech decisions  for their family and get involved in their community

HeadsUp Core Values

Inspired by Screenstrong.org, the Center for Humane Technology, and myriad other trusted resources, HeadsUp has drafted these seven core values that we hope will influence a child-centered approach to EdTech in Tarrytown, Sleepy Hollow, and beyond. Click here to download the PDF one-sheeter.
