Filtering & Security
The Oconomowoc Area School District uses a network filtering system as one means of protection for our students. A comprehensive approach including protection measures, monitoring, and instruction is utilized in our school district. The district-issued student Chromebooks will have Internet filtering at school and at home, to the extent it is possible, with the tools in place within the School District & Google Apps for Education Administration. There may be times when the filtering tools may not work, may fail, or changes beyond the District’s control may occur causing web filtering to not occur on the district-issued devices when they are not within the School District. Parents and students are encouraged to report to their site administrator any complaints or concerns regarding student access or exposure to any content, activities, or communications that may be harmful, deceptive, or otherwise inappropriate or objectionable. It is recommended a student’s use of the Internet be monitored.
We encourage families to have conversations about responsible technology use and recommend using the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction's New Interactive Safety Resource.
