Families,
Keeping our students safe and helping them learn to develop the skills necessary to navigate in today’s digital age continue to be important to us all. Students at Penn Cambria learn about digital citizenship topics such as protecting privacy, respecting others, keeping information secure, using digital resources responsibly, and avoiding cyberbullying within our computer curriculum at all grade levels.
