Common Sense Media

Congratulations Cold Spring Teachers, Staff and Students! Cold Spring School has been recognized as a Common Sense Media Recognized School for our commitment to digital citizenship, digital literacy, and student well-being. I am deeply grateful to our teachers for the care, thoughtfulness, and dedication they bring to helping our children use technology responsibly. Their work goes beyond teaching students how to use a device. They help students think critically about information, protect their privacy, practice kindness online, and understand when to put technology away. These lessons support our children in becoming thoughtful, confident, and responsible decision-makers. I am pleased to share the below press release that Common Sense Media sent me to share with our community. Thank you for your continued partnership as we help our children develop the knowledge, judgment, and habits they need to navigate the digital world with confidence and care. With appreciation, Dr. Alzina
