How Parents Can Help

• KSD uses the Lightspeed Internet filter:1. Internet filters are not perfect.2. The filter works at home, but

parents still need to monitor.3. Don’t bypass the filter which will

result in a Tech Violation and/or school discipline.

4. Report any problems to administrators or teachers.

Final Things to Remember:

• KSD IT may remove a user’s access to the network without notice at any time if the user is engaged in any unauthorized activity.

• The KSD will cooperate with law enforcement investigations relating to any inappropriate activities.

• It is critical that students have essential 21st century skills. The laptop is a tool to help them achieve that goal.
