Digital Citizenship

Warren County Public Schools (WCPS) is dedicated to equipping our students with the 21st-century skills necessary to be successful in college and/or career. One of the most important aspects of being a 21st-century learner is being a good digital citizen.

WCPS supports our teachers and schools with curriculum and resources in order to equip our students with the 21st-century skills necessary for establishing a positive presence while using digital tools.

These curriculum resources are in alignment with the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) technology standards, Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule (COPPA), and the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA).

We are utilizing multiple curriculum resources including Common Sense Education and Kentucky Department of Education's Digital Drivers License for teaching the 9 elements of Digital Citizenship.
