Gaggle at NVRHS

According to the Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA – enacted in 2000), it is the district’s responsibility to ensure the safety and security of minors when using electronic mail, chat rooms, and other forms of direct electronic communications. The district is also responsible for blocking websites that are inappropriate on the internet. For instance, the Northern Valley Regional School High School District has implemented specific firewalls to ensure that our students – while using district computers on our network – are not able to access any inappropriate or violent websites.

Per the guidance of CIPA, we are now implementing a service called “Gaggle” which is focused on keeping students safe when they use G Suite for Education from Google. NOTE: Most of our classrooms are using G Suite from Google.

Through Gaggle Safety Management for G Suite, we will be able to further promote student and educator productivity in a safe and controlled environment.

Gaggle Safety Management combines technology with expert Safety Representatives, who review content 24/7 to assure students are safe. Gaggle identifies inappropriate words and images in Gmail, Google Drive, Google Docs, and more. Trained professionals then apply consistent, school- or district-approved policies for positive intervention, alerting school officials if there is an imminent threat to a student.
