We're continuing Digital Citizenship Week by exploring how our online activity shapes the way others see us.
❤️Likes, comments, photos, usernames, and other digital choices can create an impression, but do they tell the whole story?
Ask your child: If someone only knew you through your online activity, what might they assume about you?
Today's reminder: A digital footprint tells a story, but it may not tell the whole story.

💻 Digital Citizenship Week is October 19–23!
Being a good digital citizen means learning to communicate responsibly, protect our privacy, think critically, and understand how our digital choices affect others.
Throughout the week, the Kearny School District will share five simple activities and conversation starters for classrooms and families.
We're kicking off with Leave a Positive Digital Footprint!
Ask your child: What is one way you can use technology to make someone's day better?
Follow along all week and continue the conversation at home.
