Our Eagles celebrated Digital Citizenship with spirit days!

10/23/2026

Today was the last day of Digital Citizenship Week! We noticed how technology can affect our focus, feelings, and routines, and discussed habits and breaks that help us feel our best. Our focus question was "how do you balance your time with technology?"
💡 Family Conversation: Choose one small habit that could help your family make time for rest, play, learning, or connection. Talk about how it might help everyone feel their best.

10/23/2026

Today we learned that choices about what we share can leave a digital trail and tell others something about us. Our focus question was "what footprints are you leaving online?"
💡 Family Conversation: Imagine a fictional character is deciding what to share online. What details might be private, and what could those details tell others?

10/21/2026

We practiced kind communication and including others. We discussed what we can do if technology leads to hurt feelings or a misunderstanding. Our focus question of the day was "What are ways you can be kind online?" This also supporting Unity Day - National day for bullying prevention. 🧡

💡 Family Conversation: Talk through a made-up situation where someone feels left out or hurt. What could a kind response look like, and when might a trusted adult help?

10/21/2026

Today we talked about personal information and safe choices. Students practiced pausing and asking a trusted adult when an online situation feels confusing or uncomfortable. Our focus question of the day was "How do you stay safe online?"
💡 Family Conversation: Use a pretend message or situation. What information should stay private? What could you do if someone asked for it?
