This week, Norco High School is implementing a school wide Digital Citizenship campaign during 2nd period.

Below are the videos for each grade level in the event that they are not accessible via student Chromebooks.

• 9th Grade: https://youtu.be/BjLgCuvWiJk
• 10th Grade: https://youtu.be/yjzGxLq1Dqs
• 11th Grade: Doesn't have a video
• 12th Grade: https://www.commonsense.org/education/videos/civil-discourse-online

With the rise of technology use, Digital Citizenship Education is very important because it teaches our students to use technology in order to engage respectfully online.
