#1- Digital Citizenship (Student-Only)
We meet with all students to go over their responsibilities in using school technology and becoming digital citizens. Every student will go through Digital Citizenship modules to learn to become responsible digital citizens. We want our students to practice safe and appropriate use of technology.
Before allowing our students to use iPads or technology here at AMS, we expect them to complete four Digital Citizenship modules. These modules cover Cyberbullying, Digital Footprint, Online Safety & Security, and Copyright & Fair Use. Each topic includes videos and text.

#5- iPad/PDL Information
Receiving a school iPad is a great opportunity for our students, and we know they are excited about the opportunity. During distribution, we take time to go over the student PDL agreement in detail. Students are also expected to handle their iPads responsibly, so we also take time to cover iPad care and maintenance.
