Technology Use At Home
Online Safety
In compliance with the Federal Children’s Internet Protection Act (CIPA) and board policy, the district filters all Internet connections using an appliance. The purpose of the filter is to help assure that students do not get access to inappropriate materials online. The district filters at the district level, meaning filtering settings apply to all students, staff, and visitors.
USD 394 filters school issued at home devices with Securly Home. No filter is 100% effective at filtering out harmful content. Adult supervision is still the most effective means of keeping our children safe while on technology.
Parents who wish to have greater restrictions placed on their children’s access have some options:
We highly recommend all student use be monitored when possible by adults and create good guidelines for technology use.
The Family Online Safety Institute is a great site to learn about “good digital parenting.”
Parents may wish to check with their Internet service provider to see what tools they offer to filter Internet content.
