Parent Resources

Parents are an important part of teaching children about Digital Citizenship and internet safety. By monitoring the websites that children visit, parents can help to model appropriate technology use and make sure that children are safe when chatting online.  Digital Citizenship also applies to technology such as cell phones and iPods.
