    2020: same as 2021 above. No changes.

    2019:  Teachers wanted to emphasize and focus on each lesson/theme within their Common Sense Media Unit, so all lessons were taught by the end of September with teachers taking time to focus at least a full week on each lesson & revisiting the digital citizenship themes throughout the school year.

    2018: All K-6 teachers, taught their students all Common Sense Digital Citizenship lessons assigned to their grade level during our CES Digital Citizenship Focus Week: September 11-15. Specials teachers emphasized digital citizenship in their classes during the week, and the library did some continuation lessons during that week and throughout the year.

    2017: K-6th Grade Teachers met to discuss our district and school's focus on digital citizenship and the plan for next year & completed the following 1-5 steps before Spring Break.
