EWCSD 1:1 Take-Home Program

Web Filtering

The district is using a web filter solution from GoGuardian (http://www.goguardian.com) to block websites and content that matches pre-defined content categories.

The GoGuardian web filter provides Internet filtering on the Chromebooks when used outside of school, regardless of the network being used. It is important to recognize that no web filter is capable of blocking all objectionable content all of the time.

Ensuring student's are accessing the Internet responsibly both at school and at home requires a combination of "over the shoulder" monitoring, periodically reviewing student Internet activity and educating students on the appropriate use of the Internet.

If you have questions or concerns regarding the district web filter on the Chromebooks, please email takehome@ewcsd.org.

Digital Citizenship

Classroom blogs and other online media are powerful tools that open up communication between students, parents, and teachers. Please help with responsible use of online tools by reviewing the Common Sense media family tool kit and parent resources and monitoring your child's Chromebook use at home.

Printing

EWCSD does not support printing from Chromebooks.

Google Classroom

Google Classroom is a learning management system to help simplify creating, distributing and grading assignments in a learning environment. Many EWCSD teachers use Google Classroom to send and receive student assignments in their classrooms.
