As part of our ongoing commitment to helping students find a healthy balance with technology, embracing its power to enhance learning while minimizing its potential distractions and social-emotional impacts, MBUSD is recognizing Digital Citizenship Week, October 13–24!
Together, we can help our students become empowered digital citizens who use technology to learn, connect, and create responsibly.
To help our students and families build strong digital habits, MBUSD is sharing resources from Common Sense Education, a trusted leader in digital citizenship and media literacy. Their age-appropriate lessons and family resources provide practical tips for navigating technology safely, responsibly, and with kindness.

MBUSD is celebrating Digital Citizenship Week Districtwide! As part of this initiative, we’re excited to introduce the first edition of the Healthy Tech Corner, a new feature in our newsletter created especially for parents, families, and staff. Each edition will share practical ways to help children use technology safely, wisely, and creatively, both at school and at home.
Our articles will rotate between two important topics:
These two areas often go hand in hand. For instance, when children evaluate online sources, they practice both literacy and citizenship skills.
Additionally, please complete this MBUSD Parent Survey: Personal and Educational Technology for Students, which should take less than 5 minutes. It will help prioritize content as we move forward in this work.
We are excited to share more resources in future Tech Corner articles, from managing tech balance at home to helping kids use AI and social media responsibly. Together, we can empower our children to be thoughtful, capable, and kind digital citizens.
