We are very excited to focus the October content package on Digital Citizenship Week, October 18-22nd. This year’s daily activities build on new lessons from Common Sense’s SEL in Digital Life Resource Center and will help students reflect on how their technology use impacts them and the world around them. We have daily schedules for Elementary, Middle, and High, student creation suggestions, family engagement resources, and an awareness kit to help you spread the word!

Keep up-to-date on all updates with Common Sense Education via their Google Sheet Updates.
