ADVISORY UPDATE

November 6: 6th Grade Class Meeting

• 7/8th Grade Digital Citizenship “Media Balance & Wellbeing” 

The advisory team strives to ensure that advisory lessons are easily accessible for staff (to avoid the need to plan for another prep) while still being in-depth and meaningful for our students.  This year’s Digital Citizenship lessons have been updated through Common Sense Media.  You can use this link to access the lessons (you’ll need to sign in using your gapps account).  The lessons will take two advisory class periods.    

Because the lesson resources are so in-depth, we’ve also tried to pare it down to the essentials (slideshow, student handout(s), lesson quiz, and family resources) which can be found here.  This will be posted to the staff Google Classroom.  The student handouts will also posted to the student Google Classroom. 

BITS AND BOBS
