Digital Citizenship Family Resources for Elementary Students
Digital Citizenship Family Resources for Elementary Students
The Acton-Boxborough Regional School District is committed to helping our students learn to be responsible digital citizens. As we all navigate an increasingly digital world, it's important to think critically, behave safely, and participate responsibly in online activities. Teachers and families can help children foster positive online behavior, and protect them from cyberbullying and activities that might compromise their safety or reputations. While our schools are dedicated to educating our students about digital citizenship, families can help reinforce the message at home. Following are several resources to support efforts to encourage positive online experiences. Note that All ABRSD students in grades 2-6 agree to follow the terms in the Empowered Digital Use Student Contract

With the proliferation of handheld devices, it is becoming increasingly difficult for parents to monitor their children's Internet access. Visit our Home Internet Controls page for more information.

It is important for parents to understand exactly what information their children might be sharing on social media. Check out ParentInfo.org for instructions on how to adjust the privacy settings for all of the latest social media apps.
