Digital Citizenship
The lessons were developed to address the three required CIPA (Children’s Internet Protection Act) topics (appropriate online behavior, safety and privacy. and cyberbullying), to ensure the district's compliance with eRate Certification requirements.

Asynchronous Options Now Available for Some Lesson Topics
All lessons are provided with materials to be taught as a live, teacher-led session (traditional lesson plan). In addition, some lesson topics can be assigned as an asynchronous, “student-paced” lesson via Nearpod.
With site/grade level agreement and to best meet the needs of students, teachers may assign the asynchronous lesson in place of the traditional, teacher-led lesson for students who are absent. Teachers remain responsible for ensuring that all students have access to the lessons and the support needed to complete them. Teachers are also responsible for collecting Evidence of Completion and following through on student accountability.
*12th Grade asynchronous lesson addresses a different topic than the teacher-led lesson.
Site Accountability
Accountability for student completion of the required lessons and assessments will be the responsibility of each school site. Lesson assessments that are currently in the form of Google Form Quizzes have been shared as Templates, from which the administering teacher will be forced to make a copy and become the Owner. The associated Form Responses Sheet will automatically collect the student names and email addresses as each student completes the assessment, and the teacher who administered the assessment will have access to review the list of students. Completion of lessons assigned via Nearpod can be verified in Nearpod's Post-Session Report by the assigning teacher. Each school site will determine its own process for determining which students have not completed the assessment and for following up.
Teacher Verification
Once each teacher has delivered the required lessons and collected evidence of completion, each teacher must complete the verification form (which goes to the site administration). Middle School teachers should submit twice: Once after teaching the first required lesson, prior to Winter Break, and again after teaching the second required lesson, by Spring Break.
Teachers: Obtain your school's verification form from your principal.
Principal Confirmation
Once each site has reviewed completion rates and determined that all students have completed the lessons as required, principals will submit a response to a Confirmation Form verifying that all students at their site have completed the required lessons and assessments.
At the middle school level, there are two required lessons per year; one to be taught and assessed prior to Winter Break, and a second to be taught and assessed no later than Spring Break.
At the high school level, there is one required lesson at each grade level for the year. This should be completed, assessed, verified, and submitted to Instructional Services no later than the Friday before Spring break. Schools must offer curriculum in each area over the course of high school in order to address all required topics comprehensively.
