Digital Citizenship

Our school community recognizes the importance of the digital world in our children’s lives. The Internet offers many wonderful resources and learning opportunities, however at District 181 we share your concerns about the online safety of your children. Teachers and parents can work together to empower students to make good choices and exhibit appropriate, responsible behavior with regard to technology. District 181 teachers incorporate digital citizenship throughout the year and Teacher-Librarians directly instruct all students about digital citizenship and Internet safety.
