Guess what? Here at Ramey, we are now CERTIFIED DIGITAL CITIZENS! 💻🌟

This week we received our campuswide Digital Citizenship certification through Common Sense Media. In order to receive this certification, students across all grade levels were taught responsible and safe behaviors to use when going online with help from Common Sense Media. We taught these lessons using CCR rotations and through the library. If you would like to have productive conversations with your student about digital citizenship at home, check out the link below!
