Digital Citizenship Week 2020
-
Digital Citizenship Week is celebrated each year during the third week of October. The focus during this week is to teach students about digital citizenship and support them in developing the skills they need to use the internet safely, ethically, and effectively. These skills translate into students becoming responsible digital citizens both in and out of school.

Celebrate Digital Citizenship Week on October 19–23, 2020!
Our school community will focus on the question:
How am I being a digital citizen today?
Each "Dig Cit" day covers a different topic from Common Sense's Digital Citizenship Curriculum. (These and other resources will be shared with students via the WSHS Library Schoology Group.)
