Learn with the Library

Every school year the library is required by the Children’s Internet Protection Act to complete a digital citizenship lesson with all students K-12, all to promote good health, constant safety, and your overall well-being while online.

Both freshman and sophomores have completed it at the beginning of this school year during their orientation. Completed usually during orientation with students, this year the lesson was posted in the juniors and seniors google classroom.

The library asks that students in the eleventh and twelfth grades make sure they are in their respective classrooms and complete the lesson if they haven’t already. This lesson encourages and allows students to learn lifelong skills such as behaving kindly, appropriately, and safely in various online and in person communications.

The Children’s Internet Protection Act or CIPA was a federal law that went into effect on April 20, 2001. The law was made to address concerns about children’s access to harmful content on the internet.
