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.

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month!
Washington School has a population rich in Hispanic culture. It’s awesome to see our students and staff representing their countries!
With reflective and meaningful Yom Kippur wishes, may this Day of Atonement bring peace, forgiveness, and renewal.
