DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP Digital citizenship is the appropriate and responsible behavior with regards to technology use. Digital citizenship should be practiced in every course, throughout the school and at home. It is an ongoing partnership between teachers, students, and parents. Just as teachers build an awareness of the importance of digital citizenship at school, parents build and reinforce these concepts with their children at home. Parents are asked to support the effective use of technology in the school by not texting / calling students during instructional time. Electronic devices are permitted to be used in instructional areas if the student has received the instructor?s prior permission.

Yearbooks for 2015- 16 are available for purchase online at http: / / hhhs.picaboo.com.
