Internet Safety & Awareness

Digital Citizenship Week

October 16-20 

Rio Rancho Public Schools is using Common Sense for our Internet Safety Curriculum.  This curriculum encourages students to think critically and act responsibly in our digital world.  Common Sense is a nationally recognized, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization.  

The digital world that our kids are learning and growing up in is incredibly exciting. Through technology, kids have access to new tools, to an incredible range of resources, and to stimulating opportunities to participate in novel ways. At the same time, parenting kids who are immersed in so many different technologies and apps can be daunting. Our schools are already working to make sure students cultivate the 21st century skills they need.  

We believe a joint effort between parents and teachers is a valuable way to more fully support the students and families in our community.  Common Sense Education is a trustworthy, leading resource for both schools and families and we encourage our parents to check it out.   

Movie & TV reviews, app & game reviews, advice for parents, and books are some of the many wonderful features to help parents navigate in this digital world.  One of our favorites is the "Advice for Parents" tab which covers parent guides for Fortnite, YouTube, Snapchat, TikTok, and many more.
