Throughout all grade levels in our district we REQUIRE that our students receive digital citizenship lessons. We have designed our scope and sequence by grade level, and have pulled our curriculum from Common Sense Media, an organization that has been around and well-trusted for many years.
If you are a teacher-librarian, a homeroom teacher, or an educator that works with students and technology, please review the list of lessons posted here. Keep in mind that our teacher-librarians are responsible for ensuring these lessons are taught to all; please feel free to check in with the librarian at your site regarding the delivery of these lessons.

Our goal is to help teachers develop their students' digital identity and reputation, engage in safe and positive behavior, respect and understand the rights of using and sharing intellectual property, and manage their personal data to maintain their digital privacy and security. We will accomplish this by adhering to the ISTE (International Society for Technology and Education) Standards for both students and teachers.
DIGITAL IDENTITY: Students cultivate and manage their digital identity and reputation and are aware of the permanence of their actions in the digital world.
SAFE BEHAVIOR: Students engage in positive, safe, legal and ethical behavior when using technology, including social interactions online or when using networked devices.
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY: Students demonstrate an understanding of and respect for the rights and obligations of using and sharing intellectual property.
DIGITAL FOOTPRINT: Students manage their personal data to maintain digital privacy and security and are aware of data-collection technology used to track their navigation online.
