Digital Curriculum

Did you know that students also have access to electronic editions of Laveen’s adopted curriculum along with traditional print resources? We encourage parents to log in alongside their children and explore the digital curriculum.

Remember, Laveen uses Google as a single sign-on option, so all your child’s digital resources are linked to their Laveen student account. Single sign-on allows for students to use one account to log in to multiple platforms.

Digital Citizenship

What is digital citizenship?

Digital citizenship is considered the norm of appropriate and responsible technology use. Digital citizenship is an ongoing process that we, the LESD staff, must teach in all grade levels to promote safe, legal, and ethical uses of student technology. Here in Laveen, we believe that educating students about digital citizenship and appropriate technology use are essential components of integrating technology successfully.

There are seven different concepts that Laveen students will learn about during their exposure to Digital Citizenship. These include:

Media Balance and Well-Being
Privacy and Security
Digital Footprint and Identity
Cyberbullying, Digital Drama and Hate Speech
News and Media Literacy
Relationships and Communication
Student Technology and Student Safety
