for Parents & Caregivers
Elementary
Data security is a priority at Penn Manor. We continue to improve our systems to stop cyber criminals. In response to the dramatic increase in cyber attacks targeting schools, student Google logins are restricted to Penn Manor laptops only.
This means students using a home laptop, desktop, or phone will not be able to log into Penn Manor Google tools like Classroom, Drive, or Gmail. It also means cyber criminals can not break into a 1st grade account using an unauthorized computer.
We encourage you to discuss this and other cyber security practices with your child. For more cyber safety tips and resources visit the Penn Manor student technology orientation and tips website.
Thank you for helping to keep our students safe online!
