Welcome to the EGUSD Digital Citizenship Website
The Elk Grove Unified School District’s Digital Citizenship Initiative is an on-going project and commitment. As new technology applications and tools are created, the district expands the curriculum and trainings accordingly. Currently, the district provides digital citizenship curriculum for grades K-12, professional development workshops for staff, and resources for parents.


All EGUSD schools teach digital citizenship and are in compliance with current legal mandates, such as the federal E-Rate/CIPA requirements.
As students navigate their digital worlds, the district wants to ensure that they understand the need to think before they post – to treat others with respect, to think critically about what they read and see, to build and maintain a positive digital footprint, to protect their online privacy and the privacy of others, and to respect intellectual property boundaries.
