What FCS is already teaching
Forsyth County Schools emphasizes digital citizenship so students use technology respectfully and safely. District materials describe collaboration with partners such as Neptune Navigate for lessons covering cyberbullying, privacy, digital footprint, social media, media literacy, and tech laws.
Parents can continue those conversations at home — the district points families to parent resources that summarize lesson themes.
Practical home conversations
- Ask what apps friends are using this month
- Talk about screenshots lasting forever
- Role-play how to report bullying to a trusted adult
- Distinguish “funny meme” from harassment
- Discuss AI tools: what is allowed for homework vs dishonest use
Align with school expectations
FCS Responsible Use Guidelines remind students that network access is a privilege, personal information should stay private, and inappropriate use should be reported. Reinforcing those norms at home reduces mixed messages.
Device distraction and wellbeing
FCS has also engaged families around reducing smart-device distractions and encouraging real-world connection. Cybersecurity includes wellbeing: exhausted kids click more impulsively.
