As you know, we have introduced a great deal of technology over this past year. The district uses a number of tools to increase the safety and effectiveness when working with technology at school and at home. When logged into a school device or logged into Chrome with a school account, the District has added an active filtering tool called Linewize from Family Connect. This filtering tool is designed to block access to sites that are inappropriate for students to access. No system is perfect, but this tool should increase our ability to provide a safer online environment for our students. Linewize is replacing our current network firewall/filters that have been in place for a number of years.
