Students are encouraged to have digital citizenship. This is one of our computer science standards for Anderson School District 4. Digital citizenship responsible behavior in regard to technology use. At La France we practice digital citizenship by educating the students on the importance of keeping their password safe and private. A students password and login information should only be used by them and not given for others to use. When a student is signed into their school account the websites accessed are saved under their profile. Therefore it is important that every student sign out when they have completed each computer session.
