Internet Filtering at Home:
To help protect students against harmful and inappropriate online material, as well as to keep a “scholarly” focus when learning online, Canton School District 66 uses online services provided by GoGuardian. This web-based protection operates both when in school and at also at home for school managed accounts (i.e. when a student is logged into Chrome or a Chromebook with their school email address). There are two GoGuardian policies that we employ; “At School Policy” and “After School Policy”. The At School Policy blocks websites like social media, Netflix, online gaming. This policy starts at 7:00am until 3:30pm. The After School Policy is a more lenient policy allowing social media and online streaming sites like Netflix. The After School Policy starts at 3:31pm until 6:59am.
While filtering takes place both at school and at home, parents play an important role in supervising their child's internet access and usage. Parents are encouraged to discuss rules for appropriate internet usage, and reinforce lessons of digital citizenship and safety.
Student/Parent Technical Support:
In the event of an issue with student’s District assigned device, please either use the online Students Helpdesk Form (see below) or call the school office to have the secretary log a Helpdesk call.
Student Helpdesk Form- Students may use this form on any designated e-Learning Day for technology/device support. Upon receipt, the CUSD#66 Technology Team will send submitted forms to appropriate staff to troubleshoot. Please be patient as this is a new process.
