Social Emotional Learning + Digital Citizenship
Digital citizenship directly relates to our School Improvement plan goal of increasing student access to additional social emotional learning opportunities. The website below has a plethora of resources both for educators and parents. We encourage all families to explore the site for ideas of how you can support your child making safe, responsible and respectful decisions online both at school and at home.
