Digital Citizenship at Hughes

 

As we move into the Holiday Break, it becomes more important to help our students balance time on their devices.  A simply way to support the balance in our lives is by having them reflect on if what they are doing on digital media is adding value or meaning to their life.  Moderation in anything is key to positive social-emotional learning in and out of school.  Here is a resource to help guide you as a parent in media balance.  Spanish version.
