Digital Literacy – Message from SD41
Next week, your child will be participating in classroom activities as part of a district-wide initiative called the Digital Literacy and Citizenship Week. K-7 students will be learning habits and skills that promote safe and responsible uses of technology. The theme of this week is online privacy and data security. You can read more about our district’s Digital Literacy and Citizenship Week here: Parents and Caregivers Information Sheet. We invite families to join the conversation at home using the resources provided in the link. If you have questions about this district-wide initiative, please contact your school’s administrator.
