Mineola ISD

is committed to providing instruction for all of our students that supports them in becoming safe and responsible digital citizens. We believe in focusing on positive empowerment – reinforcing positive norms by showing students that the majority of young people make safe and responsible decisions.

In accordance with the Protecting Children in the 21st Century Act, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires schools to educate students about appropriate online behavior. This includes showing students how to interact with other individuals on social networking websites and in chat rooms, and teaching them about cyberbullying awareness and response.

In order to ensure the delivery of effective digital citizenship instruction, we have created webpages that contain lessons and digital resources that will help strengthen our students’ problem solving and decision-making skills in a digital environment.
