Jeffco Public Schools

Jeffco Public Schools shares a common desire with families to help our students be healthy digital learners. When we explore the impacts that our digital lives have on our well-being, we are monitoring our digital wellness.

Monthly communication will be available to support students and families in discussions about topics such media balance (screen time), cyberbullying, media literacy, digital footprints, and more. As those are published, they will be posted below. You can also click on the icons for additional resources.

OCTOBER RESOURCES:
CYBERBULLYING

Did you know that October is National Bullying Prevention Month? Both the overall increased use of social media platforms in our culture and our students' use of the TechForEd 1:1 devices have given us a new perspective on this topic.

During the month of October, many of our fifth and ninth grade classrooms will engage in digital citizenship learning related to Cyberbullying, Digital Drama & Hate Speech.

Unfortunately, many students will encounter mean behavior at some point in their digital lives. Some of these experiences are easily forgotten, while others can have deep, long-lasting effects. For families, the key is staying involved in your children’s' lives – both in the physical and online worlds – so you can step in and offer help if necessary. This month, you can help your child(ren) learn how to avoid the drama and stand up for others by using these resources:
