"A bird sitting on a tree is never afraid of the branch breaking, because her trust is not in the branch, but in it's own wings. Always believe in yourself and keep trying new things!"
Dear Educators,
This onboarding program is designed for 9th graders. You are encouraged to lead your students through the learning modules and participate alongside them. While these modules are designed to introduce students to wellness and digital citizenship prior to the start of their online studies, the learning objectives are such that they can be addressed throughout the time with your students.
Yours in Wellness and Digital Citizenship,
Mark, Tahlia, Brian
