Digital Citizenship: A Reminder to Unplug
Our digital citizenship campaign at Hershey Public Schools continues with an important reminder for all of us—you don’t have to be online all the time! Technology is part of our daily lives, but knowing when to put the phone down is an important habit for our students and for us as adults.
We encourage our students and families to take a little time each day to step away from their screens. Go outside, read a book, enjoy an activity, or spend time visiting with family and friends. Simple things, like putting phones away during meals or turning off notifications, can help us pay more attention to the people around us.
Helping our students develop responsible technology habits takes all of us working together. Please take a few minutes to visit with your child about their screen time and ways your family can unplug together. We can all set a good example by putting our own phones down and making time for one another!
