Let's Celebrate Digital Citizenship Week


October 17-21, 2022



Digital Citizenship Week is designed to promote awareness of sound digital literacy habits and inspire best practices in organizations and individuals. That means sharing ways to interact safely online. We're proud to support that in our schools!

  • Engage students with daily activities

  • Promote digital citizenship in your community

  • Build your digital citizenship roadmap
