Digital Citizenship Lesson Requirement
Every year our students (K-12) are required to participate in Digital Citizenship lessons, and our teachers are responsible for providing these lessons. In an effort to make these lessons easily accessible to you, SMUSD has chosen to use the lessons found on the Common Sense Media Website.
Many SEES teachers did a lesson during Digital Citizenship week in October. If you have already done this, please just sign the lime green paper in your box and return it to Kathy. If you have not done this, please schedule a day to teach this lesson. All the resources you need are on the website. Please have this lesson completed, and your verification document turned in by the end of February.
We created a link to the lessons on the SMUSD website found within the technology department under Digital Citizenship:
http://www.smusd.org/Page/435.
The link on this page will also take you to the Digital Citizenship Tab: https://sites.google.com/a/smusd.org/smusd-1to1-program/digital-citizenship. The drop-down menu under this tab contains the lesson or lessons that are required for each grade level.
Each grade level tab contains the following:
The required lesson handout from the Common Sense Media website: https://www.commonsensemedia.org/educators/erate-teachers .
A Google Slides presentation created from the required lesson.
If there are handouts, videos, and/or assessments associated with the lesson, you will find those links included in the slides presentation. The links will require you to make your own copy. Then you may share those Google Docs/Drawings/Forms with your students however you choose.
Family Tip Sheets in English and Spanish that you can send home to families (Optional).
Cracked, Mangled, Battered ID Badge?

Prepare for Rainy Day Dismissal
Kindergarten families will walk directly to the classroom if it is raining during dismissal time.
Students in grades 1-5 need to know if their parents will drive up or walk to the classroom for pick up.
- We will open gates at 3:00pm for parents to walk onto campus and pick their child up directly from the classroom. Parents need to be prepared to give student name and teacher name to enter our campus.
- Drive up parents need to be prepared with their child's name, grade and teacher on a piece of paper. This expedites our pick process. Students being picked up at drive up will wait in the cafeteria.
- Any and all help with rainy day dismissal is SO appreciated.
Chromebook cart reservation for January
This system seems to have defaulted to our ongoing system.....please do your part and make sure when you return the carts that all chromebooks are in their proper place, plugged in and charging. Let Kathy or Laurie know if there are issues please.
