🛜 Digital Citizenship Follow Up
In April, NRSD hosted several presentations about digital citizenship and online safety featuring Greg Kulowiec. Students attended separate middle and high school presentations, and parents / guardians, were invited to an evening session. Please see, below, a message from the district:
We're excited to share highlights from our recent student assemblies on digital citizenship and online safety. Our guest speaker, Mr. Greg Kulowiec, engaged students in thoughtful discussions about making smart choices online, protecting their privacy, and being positive digital citizens.
To help continue these important conversations at home, we are sharing a follow-up video specifically for parents and guardians. The video provides an overview of what was covered with students and offers practical tips for supporting your child's healthy relationship with technology. You can access the video here.
We encourage you to watch the family video and discuss these topics with your child. Having ongoing conversations about digital citizenship helps reinforce responsible online behavior and keeps communication channels open.
If you have any questions about the presentation or would like additional resources, please don't hesitate to reach out.
