DC+&+PBIS

At Grand Island, we align Digital Citizenship (DC) with our Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports (PBIS) program the //**Viking Values**//. Our K-12 PBIS program, named for our school mascot the viking, focuses on 3 primary values -


 * 1) **Be Respectful **
 * 2) **Be Responsible **
 * 3) **Be Safe **

Our K-1 building (Charlotte Sidway Elementary) slightly modifies the program to be appropriate for young students. At Sidway the program is called Sidway Values and the mascot is a bee as opposed to a viking.

Whenever possible we categorize our Digital Citizenship Skills under the 3 values:

Be Respectful includes:
 * Maintain computer equipment and workstations
 * Citing Sources
 * Intellectual Property & Creative Ownership
 * Plagiarism
 * Cyberbullying

Be Responsible includes:
 * Computer Viruses and Anti-virus software
 * Spam, Scams, Pharming & Phishing
 * Malware/Malicious Code
