This is Computer Science Education Week!

COMPUTER SCIENCE impacts everything we do! Computers and computational thinking are used in every field.  Computational thinking helps us look at and solve problems in new ways. 

Talk about this at home: How can you use computer science and what you love in your career? Describe the positive impacts your work will have on others. Ask your kids how they would weave computer science and their passions together. 

Next week Crossfield is celebrating Digital Citizenship Week. Start planning out how your children can participate in the Spirit Week!
