DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP IN CFSD

The safety and security of students while online is a high priority in CFSD. Digital Citizenship focuses on both appropriate and responsible use of technology. Education and supervision are the most important things we can do to protect our students. All students in CFSD receive instruction on how to protect and conduct themselves responsibly when using online/digital resources and tools. The majority of instruction is provided by classroom teachers and the STEM Integration Specialists, although all staff is responsible for supervising and teaching the important topics around internet safety and digital citizenship. To this end, the Catalina Foothills School District has developed a comprehensive K-12 curriculum around digital citizenship with specific understandings about Internet safety and an emphasis on prevention of Cyber-bullying at each grade level.
