Internet Access & Online Safety

TECHNOLOGY SUPPORT FOR "AT HOME LEARNING"

 

NOTICE:  During periods of "At Home Learning", please visit this Technology Resoures page for information regarding troubleshooting issues with LEISD Student Laptops.  At this time support for student laptops will come from the district Technology Department rather than staff members on each campus.

Accessing the Internet at Home

All internet access from a LEISD computer or wifi network goes through an internet filtering system, which is what protects students during their use of the internet.  Students remain safe and secure through this internet filter while using their LEISD computer at school and at home.

Follow these directions to connect your LEISD Chromebook to your home wifi internet connection.

After completing these tasks, students will still be fully protected by the LEISD internet filter, whether they are connected to the internet at school or at home.  

Online Safety

LEISD students are encouraged to use their laptops at school and at home for educational purposes.  While their internet content will remain filtered, one of the best ways to manage your student's device use and online safety habits is for a trusted adult to be active and involved with them.  Here's some tips to get you started:

  • Discuss the websites your student visits
  • Know your student’s login information
    • Let them know it's okay to share this with you or a teacher but should never be shared with anyone else.
  • Charge the device in a family room
  • Ensure the device stays in its case
  • Ask how the device is used at school each day 

Topics like Digital Citizenship, Digital Footprint, Cyber Safety, etc. are of the highest importance in keeping our students protected and safe online.  Some of the websites below can provide parents with valuable resources, information, and insight into these areas.
