If your answer is YES, please register TODAY for the 32nd Annual Res Run on Sunday, October 20. If Stanley has the most % increase compared to last year, our school will get an extra $500 and Principal Mangold will shave his head again! Let's do this Stanley!

Last year, Stanley had 385 registrations. Prices increase tonight at midnight so register now. 

We are also still looking for volunteers to help with Set-Up and Take Down the morning of the race.

Digital Citizenship Week is October 14 - 18

Digital media has greatly impacted the ways children live and learn. The world has opened up to our students and it brings exciting opportunities such as new career paths, increased social connections, innovative educational approaches, as well as expanded means for self-expression. According to the Common Sense Census, on any given day, teens in the United States will spend, on average, about 8.5 hours using digital media for their enjoyment. Tweens (identified as children 8 to 12) spend, on average, about 5.5 hours daily consuming media, and 72 percent of children under 8 have used a mobile device for playing games, watching videos or using apps, up from 38 percent in 2011. In today’s hyper-connected world, it is never too early to begin talking to your child about how to be a responsible digital citizen!

For this reason, the Lafayette School District would like to work together as a community to ensure students learn how to navigate the digital world safely and responsibly. Students in grades K - 8 are provided with grade appropriate digital citizenship skills instruction throughout the school year through district-wide shared library goals. Digital Citizenship Week is the perfect time for families to reflect on the role technology plays in their lives. Let’s raise awareness and help our students become digital citizens who appreciate the responsibility they hold for their choice of content and actions when online. Below you will find links to tips and resources for families.

Start with this brief video explaining Digital Citizenship:

Common Sense Media's Parents' Ultimate Guides can help keep you up to date with the apps, games, and websites your kids are using and answer your questions about all the latest platforms and trends.

Also, check out Common Sense Media’s Digital Citizenship Resources for Family Engagement for tips, conversation ideas, and family activities organized by grade level.

Lastly, consider drafting a Family Media Agreement that outlines safe practices for online behavior. Don’t have the time to write your own? Use Common Sense Media's Family Media Agreement. Keep it posted somewhere central and if need be, do a refresher every few months!
