Internet Security
for Parents
While your child is surfing the web while at school, their browsing is being monitored and regulated by the award-winning Barracuda Web Filter. In addition, we use Go Guardian to monitor and filter content delivered to students on their district-issued Chromebooks, whether in school or at home.
If you are looking for additional controls over your child's online usage at home, both local broadband companies provide information and tools to keep you and your family safe online.
Verizon Fios
Verizon offers Verizon Family Protection, free parental control software that can help keep your family safe online. Offered as part of your Verizon Internet service, Family Protection gives you the tools to block access to certain websites, and lets you choose who can use the Internet and when. For more information or to download, go to Verizon Family Protection (you must be logged into your Verizon Fios account to access this page.)
Comcast xFinity
Unfortunately, Comcast does not currently have any parental control software that works with our students' Chromebooks. However, there is a way to set up and adjust parental controls thru your wireless router's admin tool website. Go to Set Up Parental Controls for more information.
