Digital citizenship is part of creating and maintaining a welcoming, caring, respectful and safe environment for everyone in the school community. Our school’s Digital Citizenship Plan is posted on our school website under the Technology Tools tab.  From time to time communication will be sent home to remind families to keep the conversation going about responsible digital citizenship.
