Digital Citizenship     Teachers all around the district  have been educating our students about Digital Citizenship. Lessons have been given at the Elementary and Middle School levels. Teachers have been provided with Common Sense Curriculum as their guide to teaching our students, with the best tools possible.     Students now understand the importance of having a digital footprint as well as keeping a positive digital presence online. Teachers have focused on using technology for learning, communicating, sharing and connecting but making sure that when online, students keep their accounts private and are mindful of what they post.      Students have signed pledges to be positive Digizens!!
