Digital Citizenship Week
Digital Citizenship Week
October 15-19, 2018
"Digital citizens think critically about what they see online and learn to make their own smart choices online and in life. That means understanding the benefits and risks of sharing information, knowing the difference between a credible news source and a sponsored ad, and balancing screen time with other activities. Cultivating these skills is essential for anyone to thrive in today's increasingly tech-driven world. But digital citizens aren't born -- they're taught ..." (Common Sense Media)
Does your child have good digital manners? Do they know what is appropriate to share with others online? Do you have a family technology policy? Does your child know how to determine real news from fake news?
As a 1:1 District and an elementary school that is rich in technology, our goal is to integrate technology into our curriculum while teaching our students to protect themselves and their privacy. Common Sense Media is a site that works hard to assist parents, teachers, and students to meet this goal! Not only does it provide a wealth of resources on digital citizenship, but it also provides important information on movies, tv shows, apps, game, and websites! What do you want to learn more about?

Second Grade Assessment Infomation
CogAt and Iowa Assessment Info:
Students in second grade will take the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT) and Iowa Assessments (IA). We will test on October 29- November 2, 2018. The primary purpose of these assessments is to identify students for the Gifted and Talented programs (ALERT). The identification of gifted and talented students is a multi-step process which consists of screening and referral, assessment of eligibility, and placement. The tests will measure reasoning and problem-solving skills in the areas of 1) verbal, 2) quantitative (mathematics), 3) spatial or non-verbal (using shapes and figures to solve problems). It is important to make sure your child has a good night sleep, a healthy breakfast, and is at school on time during testing days.
