1:1 Device Quickstart

Contents:

Usernames

Usernames for students are standardized for all grade levels. All start with a 2 digit number representing the projected graduation year; Followed by the first four characters of their last name; Followed by the first characters of their last name.

Notes:

By policy, usernames are created in accordance with the student's legal name only. No nicknames or shortened variations are acceptable.
Spaces or special characters - such as a hyphen or apostraphe - are omitted from usernames.
Should a student's graduation year change, the students email will not change.

Passwords

Student passwords begin as their 6-digit student ID number. This number is created by the Registration Office upon enrollment. You can typically find this number on report cards. This number will also be used as a PIN in the cafeteria.

Connecting to WiFi

When at school, 1:1 devices will connect to the school's WiFi automtically.

When at home, a parent/guardian or student will need to connect to their home wifi network.

Click in the lower-right corner where the time is displayed.
Click on the WiFi icon. It will likely say "Not connected"
A list of available networks will populate. Select your home network and click connect.
Enter your home wifi's password.

Web Filtering

All school owned devices are subject to web filtering rules & policies regardless of location or internet service. Web filtering is required by the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA). The school's web filter is intended to prevent access to material not appropriate for minors and anything deemed non-academic.

Understand that no web filter is perfect. With the internet changing every second, it is unrealistic to expect all innapropriate content to be blocked. In the event something fails to be blocked, parents/guardians should report it to the Technology Department or to their student's teacher.

In addition to filtering websites, the District's web filter, a product called "Go Guardian", gives Teachers monitoring tools. These tools allow teachers to monitor what their students are doing on their device and take action to ensure the student is on-task. These monitoring tools function only during school hours and only when the device is on the school's wifi. Go Guardian will filter the web everywhere at all times, but the monitoring tools used by teachers is restricted to in-school use only.

Outside of school, Parents/Guardians may use similar monitoring tools. Referred to as Go Guardian Parent, a parent/guardian can create their own block lists, see student's web history, create screen limits, set off-hours, and more.
