Digital Citizenship: Computer Games

Yesterday we announced the Digital Citizenship Philosophy….

Today we want to remind you that in order to protect you and ensure that you are connecting in a way that promotes positive inclusive attitudes, you cannot play computer games in the Library or the Cafeteria. You need to go to the Gaming Room, C154, if you want to play computer games at break or lunch 1.

Why not have a discussion about this in your Advisory or Homeroom today?
