June is Internet Safety Month and we would like to remind our community about the importance of digital citizenship and safety online. Digital Citizenship encompasses the skills, responsibilities, and behaviors one is expected to exhibit while productively and positively existing in an online and/or digital environment. 

Below are some helpful digital citizenship and safety tips and resources from the IUSD Information Technology team:

• Think before you post.
• Avoid oversharing.
• When using social media, only connect with people you trust and report suspicious activity.
• Protect your privacy. Ensure all social media accounts are private and avoid using common words when creating passwords.
• Fact-check where your information comes from.
• Practice digital wellness, like setting screen time limits.

, a platform frequently used by teachers, can help families receive trusted reviews on thousands of books, games, TV shows and movies to ensure safe media consumption.

Additional information and resources for both students and parents can be found on the District’s Digital Citizenship webpage.
