Oct 16th - 20th is Digital Citizenship Week in FCPS. To celebrate DigCit Week & promote building healthy habits around technology use we are having a spirit week. Monday, Oct. 16 is sports day!

It is digital citizenship week at CPES! Our students & staff will be learning and reflecting on the questions you see here throughout the week! Watch for family materials to be sent home so you can continue the learning after school with your student. #digcitweek #CommonSenseEd

This isn’t an Olympic balance beam training we’re talking about, but it does take training to create good digital habits! Our ES Students will reflect today on this question, “How do you balance your time with technology?” #FCPSdigcit Common Sense Education, #digcitweek #FCPSOn #FCPSpog

Learning to assess risk, how to protect private information, and stay in places that are age-appropriate help to keep our youngest students safe online! Supporting students every day to develop these skills pays off for a lifetime! #FCPSdigcit Common Sense Education, #digcitweek #FCPSpog

We had some great superheroes, super digital citizens reminding us to stay safe online! #FCPSdigcit #digcitweek #FCPSpog Common Sense Media

Standing up for ourselves and others can be difficult. Today, our students will be learning ways to safely be an upstander. It’s cool to be kind! #FCPSdigcit Common Sense Education, #digcitweek #FCPSpog

Our digital footprint (the places we go online) influences what we see and also who we connect with. Students will reflect on all the kinds of information left behind when online and how it forms their footprint. #FCPSdigcit Common Sense Education, #digcitweek #FCPSpog

Ask questions, read multiple sources, examine images & videos, and talk with experts. Healthy skepticism and critical thinking skills develop media-literate students! #FCPSdigcit Common Sense Education, #digcitweek #FCPSPOG

Our third graders had their thinking hats on today as we discussed tips for making stronger passwords. #FCPSdigcit #digcitweek #FCPSpog ⁦Common Sense Media⁩

FCPS will continue to be a leader working on behalf of students and their families in creating a positive culture around how they use media and technology. Thanks for learning with us and supporting our students! #FCPSdigcit Common Sense Education, #digcitweek
