The IRCSD Tech Toolkit for Teachers is designed to provide our educators with a guide for creating online classrooms using a variety of resources available to IRCSD. With WarriorNET, ParentSquare, Google Classroom, and Google Meet, teachers can maintain the daily flow of class activities and assignments during any potential at-home instruction days. Students can participate in class activities from devices such as smartphones, desktops, laptops, or Chromebooks in a hybrid model of synchronous and asynchronous activities.
This site will be updated often as new resources and tools become available. Please check periodically for updates.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. What is WarriorNET, and how can it be used for external access?
Q. What is WarriorNET, and how can it be used for external access?
A: WarriorNET is our District's implementation of the Classlink Single Sign-On solution. A single sign-on (SSO) is a user authentication service that allows users to use one set of login credentials (username/password) to access multiple applications. By signing in to WarriorNET, our students and faculty can have access to a variety of applications used by our District without having to sign in to each of those applications individually.
While at home or away from the District, students and faculty can always access WarriorNET from at ircsd.org and sign in to utilize the same applications used while at school.

How do I submit a website link or YouTube video for unblocking?
If you or your students are experiencing blocked sites or YouTube videos, there is a new procedure for determining if that resource can be unblocked.
Teachers can go to archive.lightspeedsystems.com, enter the URL (link) of the site or video, and will know instantly how it's classified. If the Category is "Unknown", they can submit the request to have it re-categorized. If Lightspeed approves it, the site or video will then be accessible to students. If they deny the request or the Category shows "Mature", we can then add it to our Custom Allow List if there is sufficient justification. The user who submits the request will receive an email update.
