We're wrapping up Digital Citizenship Week with "Real, Reliable, or Ridiculous?", a quick media literacy challenge.
Check out the headlines posted in this series and consider the claim. Ask: Who created it? What evidence supports it? Can you verify it somewhere else?
Decide together: Trust it, question it, or investigate further.
Digital citizenship means more than behaving responsibly online. It also means thinking critically about what we see and share.

We're continuing Digital Citizenship Week with a quick challenge: Post, Pause, or Private?
📷 Imagine a friend sends you a funny photo. Would you post it, pause and ask permission, or keep it private?
Ask your child to explain their choice. Talk about privacy, permission, and how sharing something online might affect someone else.
Sometimes responsible digital citizenship begins with a moment of reflection.

Our Digital Citizenship Week series continues with a look at what influences the content we see online. 📸
Social media feeds and recommendations are shaped by what we click, watch, search, and follow. But what might we be missing?
Ask your child: Why do you think this content appeared in your feed? What other perspectives might be missing?
A personalized feed is not always the complete picture.

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.

🌰 Little Acorns, Big Impact!
What began in Ms. McGee’s science classes at Kearny High School has grown into a community conservation effort involving the KHS S.A.V.E. Club and Roosevelt School, where sixth graders created posters highlighting the importance of acorns in wildlife rehabilitation.
Collected acorns are donated to Haven in the Woods in Old Bridge, NJ, where they help feed rescued wildlife preparing to return to the wild.
Roosevelt students Jayce and Jovie also help deliver donations alongside their mom, KHS science teacher and S.A.V.E. Club advisor Krystina McGee, while learning about wildlife rehabilitation firsthand! 🐿️💚
