Google Admin restricts access to websites that are not appropriate for school use, as determined by our administration.
​
Supervision During Free Time:

Computers used during free time in our dedicated internet cafe spaces are supervised by our upper grade teachers to ensure adherence to our internet usage guidelines.
-
Younger grade students will be supervised by their teachers during free time to ensure they do not gain unauthorized access to the computers.
​
Permission for Younger Students:
-
Children who are not in grades 4 and up will need to have written parental permission to view/access our Chromebooks and internet resources.
-
Parents must provide consent for their younger children to spectate/use school computers and the internet.
Parental Involvement:
-
Parents are encouraged to communicate any specific requests or concerns regarding their child's computer and internet usage to one of our upper-grade teachers.

We value parental involvement and strive to address individual concerns in a timely and respectful manner.
Limitations of Monitoring:
-
While our Chromebooks are monitored and locked down to the best of our ability, we cannot guarantee 100% protection from inappropriate content or online risks.

We encourage students to practice responsible digital citizenship and report any concerns or incidents to a staff member immediately.
By adhering to these guidelines, we aim to create a safe and productive learning environment where students can harness the power of technology for academic growth while fostering responsible online behavior.
