Digital Citizenship & Safety

Parent University Digital Citizenship

At Rowlett Middle Academy, we believe that education is a collaborative effort. Students, Staff, and Parents/Guardians must maintain an open, supportive dialogue to help our students to stay safe--on campus, and online. That said, we have compiled these resources that might be helpful to you:

As a campus, through our iLead Leadership Lessons, we also discussed the importance of accountability and integrity online, being kind, and staying safe--including providing instructions on the tools within social media to limit privacy settings, block users, etc. These directions can be found here for you to review with your student.

Please also keep an eye out for upcoming Parent Education Series sessions that will deal with these and other important topics.
