Internet Safety

Internet Safety

We help our students learn to become safe and responsible digital citizens. We filter all access to the Internet through our network. Students using our digital resources, including Internet access, must agree to follow district and school rules.

Read more about our policies:

Many lessons about Internet safety are taught by our teacher librarians, classroom teachers or both.

  • To help keep students safe and focused on schoolwork while online, our district uses GoGuardian. When students are logged into Chrome or a Chromebook with their school email, GoGuardian helps protect them from inappropriate or explicit content through multi-layered internet filtering.

    Learn more about how you can use GoGuardian at home and how we use it in CK Schools. 

  • Elementary

    We help our students build a foundation for Internet safety starting in elementary school. We talk about keeping personal information private online. We urge them to talk with a trusted adult and alert them about suspicious online behavior. We cover safe surfing as well as avoiding computer viruses and other malware. In addition, we begin to talk about cyber bullying and harassment.

    Secondary

    In middle school and high school, our Internet safety lessons become more in-depth. We talk more about cyber bullying and harassment, social networking, appropriate online behavior and appropriate texting. We also cover intellectual property, copyrights and plagiarism.

  • When using district-owned electronic resources, our expectations for positive student behavior online are the same as for face-to-face interactions at school. That includes:

    • Use these resources safely and responsibly for educational purposes.
    • Students should talk with a trusted adult any time they have questions about proper use of their devices or if they come across inappropriate material.
    • Keep personal information private (including, account numbers, passwords, addresses, etc.).  
    • Only share and/or post pictures of yourself or others with permission from an adult at school.
    • Respect intellectual property rights and copyright laws. Give full credit to original authors and developers by citing sources appropriately.

    We reserve the right to review system use and file content for security and administrative purposes. No user should have any expectation of privacy when using the district’s network or electronic resources. You can read district policies about digital resources on our Student Rights & Responsibilities page. 

    We expect families to monitor their child's internet use at home. Visit our Security, Filtering & Monitoring page to learn more.
