Safe Beginnings



Digital Citizenship Overview


During the first few weeks of school students was given the opportunity to review the Spofford Pond Digital Citizenship rules.  After going through our A.U.P., reviewing some rules and watching some safety tip videos, students signed a digital citizenship contract, pledging to follow the rules.  Digital Citizenship is an importance piece of technology use and it is a subject that we will be investigating throughout the year in all classes.
