During the week you will be providing instruction to students on Digital Footprint, please either send a printed copy of or a digital copy of the accompanied family letter home to support families on this topic.  The Family Letter reviews the Digital Agency topic, provides parents/guardians with discussion questions, and resources to support their students.

The Intro Family Letter provides parents/guardians with an explanation of how to use the letter with their students.  It is recommended to send the Intro Family Letter home at the beginning of the school year to explain to parents how these monthly letters will support their students at home, at school, and in their Digital Life.
