A Message from the Principal
Dear Parents and Community Members,
Taylor Road realizes the importance of being a good steward of technology. We are making it a priority for all students to receive digital citizenship and literacy lessons, prior to receiving their devices as part of our personalized learning initiative. To best support our efforts, our school district has partnered with Common Sense Education to provide resources for our students, staff, and families within Fulton County as the first step.
Throughout the year, we will deepen students’ learning on digital citizenship by using Common Sense lessons to teach our students about Internet safety, digital footprints, cyberbullying, copyright, and other relevant topics. Our goal is to prepare all students, grades 6-8, to become certified digital citizens with the ability to navigate and utilize the internet space in a safe, respectful, and effective manner.
We also intend to empower our community regarding safe and smart media use by sharing and talking about the many helpful family resources from Common Sense Education. To further show our commitment to this endeavor, we are aiming to become a Common Sense Digital Citizenship Certified School in 2016-17.
For more information, and great free resources, visit Common Sense Media or go to the link on the TRMS website.
